Reddit admin seem to be under the very mistaken impression that the passive viewers are the source of Reddit’s success. Creating and modding a sub is a labor of love, and people who have the love, time, and patience to do it well are a tiny minority of Reddit’s users. When they alienate mods, Reddit dies.
I think all that will be left of Reddit’s userbase in 12 months (Assuming this can take the load as the traffic migrates) will be the Alt-Right who sit there any circlejerk about how elections are rigged because there’s only Nazis left so nobody argues with their asshattery.
Uh, nope, not me. (not necessarily a radical right, just more like an Anabaptist right although I’m obviously on a computer so I’m obviously not a fully Anabaptist right) I will keep a token (and only a token) presence there until something changes, and I’m looking for a new place to call home with all the subs I like. I understand that the owner didn’t like giving away the content for free to those who are going to benefit from it financially, but it should have been a more collaborative brainstorming for a solution.
