The mod team mutinied against the top mod on a very popular sub, and the top mod wasn't even notified till after he was kicked and the other mods reopened. Thompson posted... Say what you want about the mods being dumb and their protest being ineffective, Reddit pricing out their competition so that they don't have to care that their own app is lousy is literally saturday cartoon evil corporation villany. Reddit doesn't make money. Yet they pay millions in infrastructure cost in their API access, which became a lot worst in the past year because of companies using it to train AI LLM. The 3rd party apps are making money off Reddit's charity, so they've decided they gave enough charity. jasten posted... Love how a few subs have exposed the mods both NBA and Anime had the mods commenting as normal during the blackout. And people want us to feel sorry fir these dipshits? The NBA one is hilarious. The entire thread on that is thousands of people shitting on the mods. --- Nani?!? <cite>HornyLevel posted [p:974257975] in Reddit is ... [t:80480164]...</cite> <quote>Threaten?
