    The fact that humans continue to mod for free, to make reddit a profit which they will never see, baffles me.

      It almost made sense back when it seemed like users felt they owned their content. Now that spez has made it clear that belief was wrong, providing free labor is a fool’s errand.

      The big subs should just let it go unmodded for a week, I’ve been a mod of a big sub once and fuck damn people posted and commented some insane shit. Let r/aww go unmodded, that will fuck Reddit’s advertisement. It would take half an hour before r/aww became r/gaww

        This is why I think a lot of Reddit is automatically modded now, because of the unfair treatment people report
