No wonder they're such assholes.

Ok, serious question: were the moderators offered share options, or are they hoping that the company would eventually compensate them? Or is this discussion blanketed by an NDA?

No to all 3 questions afaik.

Yes, some of us got this email on Monday.
Pretty sure most old and/or active accounts received this regardless of being mods, though.

No, maybe in some cases, no.

We must all as a nation, stop using Reddit, it's way too ban happy anyway

I got perma banned there a couple years ago for making someone upset.

Are you saying he's doing an excellent job on maximizing output?

But reddit hasn't been profitable, right?

The moderators who run much of the site are not paid directly, but they're definitely in league.

Powermods took over reddit a long time ago. Hell, I'd go so far as to say reddit secretly promoted r/the_donald and other extremist subreddits, and had a direct hand in getting him elected.

Mods are paid in their ability to power trip

Has this been posted on Reddit itself anywhere. I'd be interested to read users comments

I think he is seriously devaluing someone giving those mods Reddit Gold

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I appreciate this sentiment, but I would not advise paying moderators straight out.
