True, but there are hundreds of thousands of people who are willing to become mods, even with no pay and awful administration.

I'll be honest. It's hard to feel much sympathy for someone who chooses to continue kissing the boot.

It's like they forgot what happened to Digg. They have forgotten the face of their father.

Good. I hope Reddit crashes and burns or turns even more into a cesspool than it is today so it gets abandoned by shareholders and dies.

Im a proponent of just hammering their servers with mass DDOS. Follow black cats example and keep compromising and ransoming their data. And dont stop.

Who is investing in Reddit at this point? I guess they can just dump their shares against etf buying.
