Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.
Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.
He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.
Lmao I called it earlier today. He’s more worried about this than I thought though because this is really soon. Forcibly reopening subs is a powerful move from Reddit’s end, but it’s the nuclear option. It takes any perceived power away from protesting mods, and will risk Reddit paying for moderation in the future. He’s trying to scare the strike… it means it’s working.
