Reddit CEO slams protest leaders, saying he'll change rules that favor ‘landed gentry’
Interesting point about the future of Reddit in that article:
The long-term goal is monetization of subreddits. I'm glad I won't be there to see that happen.
I think this is where the Fediverse can shine. If a Corp wants to join and host their own stuff, they can, and it will be really clear. Decentralization means that instead of a single broker of the information we can have a range from altruistic to straight up monetization exist side by side. But why some Corp would pay for a subreddit is crazy...I mean, what is the value prop? Companies would have to pay for the subreddit and then moderate it too?
At least when they were paying for bots and shills there was a modicum of plausible deniability.
Can users vote out the CEO?
If anything, the mods are indentured servants who toil on Lord Huffmans plots for free. Landed gentry, my ass.
