The open letters showed me those people only cared about their position in the first place. Otherwise they wouldn't be bargaining, knowing it's useless, they'd leave like the rest of us did

Why do the mods care so much? Can anyone point me to an explainer of how can mods monetize their modding? I also don't understand why I see people here on Lemmy modding dozens of communities or looking to be mods of communities their posting history says nothing of.
Why do you think it needs to be able to be monetized for people to care about modding? I would imagine that most good-faith mods are passionate about the communities they're modding and the subjects they're about, and they care about them because they want to see them thrive and not be overrun by bad actors.

I'm sure some of them like the power. But many of them just don't want to leave their community (because let's face it, a lot of communities won't leave and don't care about the drama). They feel like they're losing a friend group. It's the same reason why people stay in shitty friend groups even when they're treated like crap. They don't want to be alone or to have to start over.

Lol my guess is 0 response from spez until the normies start screaming about their apps not working.
Anybody trying to save reddit at this point is a fool.
The scammers. Imagine being some dude at a sketch marketing firm who just bought a handful of high karma, organic accounts and were about to start advertising. I can't imagine the good quality ones are cheap. Turns out they're worth nothing now.
im confused why people a. think spez had enough control to make these decisions. b. that killing the 3rd party apps wasnt the point.
almost zero notice, exorbitant costs for stripped access...
there was never going to be a compromise. 'they' want to wall their garden, and thats all she wrote
Spez has all the control, he’s the CEO. I find it unlikely that the board of directors is micro-managing him to this degree. Otherwise, why even have a CEO?
They handed down an edict to make Reddit profitable and take the company public by the end of the year, and this is how he believes it can be done.
Because they don't want it to be true.
They just need time to go through the stages of mourning.
The RIF subreddit has been marking each post with its stage of grief since this began. Most were at acceptance last I checked.
I don't think they're in denial. I think they're just hoping to save their community.
They're going to do a ridiculous price that is technically lower, but is still highway robbery.... You just wait.
I think even that is generous, I doubt they will even bother responding
These people invested so much time and effort into their communities, I understand why they are doing all this to keep them

Can't imagine what they could deliver that would bring Apollo or RIF back.
