Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.

Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.

He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.

    I totally second this idea. The last time we tried to get the internet to seriously decide on something we got Boaty McBoatface.

    Even better. All posts in these subs can be advertisements, perfect.

    Yeah, don’t even spend 3% of revenues as a cost of doing business. The soon-to-be-community-elected mods will do it for free. Super.

    Watch subs elect actual Nazis, trolls, incels and transphobes to be moderators for the lols and then the site ends up being a cesspool.

    Doesn’t matter what changes he makes I’m never going back to that site that it’s filled with karma farmers, bots and onlyfans spamers

      When the subreddits went private I visited reddit three times, then a couple of times the next day, then once the following day. I haven’t visited today and honestly I’m not missing it too much. If I get the urge to visit I just come here and it acts as my reddit nicotine patch.

        I just wish it wasn’t always the first few results when you look up information on certain topics. Especially for really niche issues since it’s often the only place with answers right now. That’s basically that only time I visit reddit at this point.
