The bigger, sadder problem is that it would actually work. There's never been a more divided time in the world than now. You'd think everyone would see how disgraceful Reddit's actions have been and want nothing to do with the platform anymore, but realistically not everyone cares. It's already happening where you can simply tell mods that they aren't being paid for their time and instead of them thinking logically, they go ahead and ban you to silence you.
Yeah mods are already universally hated enough that they make a great scapegoat. That seems to be the direction we're headed.
It’s not like they don’t know it’s not paid, if it’s a fun hobby people choose to support the communities they love they’d spend the time anyway. But with every move to make Reddit more corporate it makes the sites reliance on volunteers more exploitative.
