I loved that the VP of Content added that mods will still be able to protest when Reddit is literally is getting rid of major tools for mods to do an effective protest. Like, I get that Reddit is a company, and that it's a platform they own, and that they lose profit whenever a big subreddits get privated, but they keep giving mods middle finger after middle finger.
Translation: We don't really give a shit what you think. Now shut up and generate that content for us to sell to AI companies.
If can protest in a way that drives engagement makes are numbers better it's allowed. Lmao what clowns.
Its like the king says you can send him extra grain as a protest for this years unfair taxes
What they don't seem to understand is that Reddit employees don't create value, the users create value. And mods are users. The more they make things shitty for users, the more quickly the company will go bankrupt. I distinctly remember stories about killing golden geese and milking cows to death but the MBA crowd must not have been told those growing up.
