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.

Right? How does he not see that this is a terrible idea.

Probably because he has back end control to make sure elections give him what he wants with the veneer of popular support.

Ok, reading the article, removing mods through voting doesnt sound too bad when you consider that turtle-something mod, who moderates way too many servers and removes/bans every post/user talking shit about them. Finally we can get power hungry mods out the fucking door.

Too bad they only decided to work on it to kick those mods keeping the blackout alive. Like why do they want to fight their userbase so badly
