Don't worry, the mods will be paid now. Just by the NRA, Walmart and Russia.

Reddit is about to be run entirely by shills who will hop into mod spots.

I don't think it'll be that simple

There are sooooo many fuckin subs, and while I know there are small handfuls that oversee dozens and dozens, the niche ones that really help user retention will suffer.

Like, it's not the huge million+ subs that I'm missing, it's the smaller localized fandoms and obscure memory subs that I'm really missing.

But quality will slip. You can't just substitute care, concern, and domain knowledge that built a community for some rando. The pillars of the communities are moving on and going elsewhere.
