Reddit is doing the mod swapping in a creepy way. First the community is banned, then it comes back under new management by corpo drones

I don't see how this works in the long run, if they have to put paid corporate drones in charge of moderation. Wasn't the entire point of Reddit that they don't have to pay moderators?
This kind of strategy is lose / lose. If spez want an IPO, well this kind of crap is tanking that IPO.
The "corpo drones" in this case are people willing to follow the directions from Reddit/Advance Media, but not get paid.
This is a terrible plan and it's failing as expected
Reddit may have won...
Now let's outline how they really lost in the rest of the article.
Reddit May have won?
I’m willing to debate that. I still think majority of the people who provide actual information, memes and helps are gone to other platforms (such as Lemmy).
Most of Reddit’s stuff are quite much just reposts of old stuff. Only ones that have newer content are the niche* subreddits or the very specific subreddits to one thing.
