“Reddit is publicly extending an olive branch to the moderator community that it largely enraged over recent weeks…But as you might expect, mods remain skeptical.”
“Reddit is publicly extending an olive branch to the moderator community that it largely enraged over recent weeks…But as you might expect, mods remain skeptical.”
Mods of major subreddits should wise up and realize they should be compensated for the ads shown on their subreddits. They are 100% the reason ads are even possible (no mods, content would be awful, advertisers would run).
They should all just exit stage left. Release their moderator status and force Reddit to select new mods.
When Reddit does start selecting, there’s going to be bad actors pretending to be good that will cause major disruption.
That’s how you punish their admins for taking away the free API.
By the way, has Microsoft, Google or ChatGPT ponied up the cash for access? I doubt it.

Reddit can’t do this, because reddit can’t operate with positive cash flow even with volunteer moderators.
