Yeah I don't think mods and "power users" that stayed after last year are necessarily against reddit succeeding, just not willing to buy in at a 6.5bil valuation for a company that can't turn a profit and lost 90+ mil last year and 700+ cumulative. The CEO got 193 mil last year it's clear where their priorities are. And after the bad will they gained last year burning mods and third party apps it's not a big surprise many are watching with a big ol' bucket of popcorn.
They kicked myself and my entire mod team from r/Canning because we held a vote and our users asked us to shut the community down in protest of their 3rd party app policies.
Then recently they emailed and messaged me telling me I could get in on the ground floor of buying shares.
That’s going to be a big resounding “no” from me there u/spez.
They emailed me too. Guess I was a power user, because I wasn't a mod!
I ignored it. It's especially egregious because I'm Canadian, and I think it's for Americans only.
Since they killed third-party apps, I think I've gotten more emails from them than the number of times I've signed in. Haven't even posted a single comment since RIF died.
RIP RIF
Reddit is peace, rest in fun.
