Reddit's pathetic attempt to quash dissent - eviltoast

Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

      Now imagine companies openly buying moderator positions to take over their own subreddit.

      It can always get worse.

          "hmmm. But is there any way we can exploit brown people in some brown country while doing this?’

          all that is missing.

        The word “openly” is the only thing that separates your comment from currently-happening-reality. Plenty of subs and their mods are bought and paid for.

        Also this whole post from the VP is such a load of shit. “We have a seat for you at the table… if you want it.” Boy only a VP in a big corporation could keep a mouth so loaded with horseshit.

      Don’t give them ideas because that’s actually kind of too brilliant for them — instead of selling ads only, also directly sell the user base to interested parties.
