That was my first thought. Mods found out how much power they actually had when reddit forced all subreddits open when the API debacle occurred. Wondering if some of the defaults or smaller communities will even get a shot at saying no.
Mods found out how much power they actually had when they capitulated as soon as reddit threatened to replace themreddit forced all subreddits open when the API debacle occurred.
theres only 92 controlling the 500 top subs, so not long. and those are the powermods, that most likely has reddit admin's ear(direct line of communications).
Remember when sites would make bad decisions and then just, you know... fucking die? Reddit's entire existence is owed to Digg imploding like the Titan submarine.
Notice how that doesn't happen anymore? No matter how egregious their infractions, no movements away from Twitter or Facebook - no matter how deeply they are infiltrated/compromised by runaway fascism/capitalism - nothing has an impact. No backlash, no matter how huge - is strong enough to shutter these sites and make them stop being money-printing operations.
It's almost like there is an infinite money glitch going on and no matter what, if you're in the "in" crowd, your shit gets to stay around no matter how much everybody thinks it smells like shit.
its actually pretty hard to use the site as a new user, thier ban filters,botting filter is set so high right now its easy to get banned, or your comments removed, immediately, even if you are using illicit evasion methods.
i think they went after OF/NSFW accounts because of 2 reason: 1 is there was a obvious troll bot spamming htier porn AI there constantly, 2nd is reddit isnt getting any revenue from the OF accounts that are earning per/account(i dont know how to they are getting money from that) so they banned the of ones.
yes it was the one saved gamestop from getting destroyed by a investment group/ and a PE firm, the ones that destroyed (toysrus,sears,red lobster), if seen the ceo of SEARS he looks pure evil.
Reddit keeps opting communities to features that make no sense for them. Recap, talks, community awards, etc, which only fit a tiny number of communities.
