Reddit this week.
What they should do: Step back, ask for forgiveness and announce “free" API access but only for their Premium sub. Would end the strike, increase revenue and still kneecap 3rd party apps.
What they'll probably do: Nothing.
What they may do: Something that’s really stupid.
What I have the popcorn ready for: Mass takeover of subreddits, followed by announcement of a move towards AI based mods.
Reddit has started removing the mod teams of some subreddits that switched the labeling on their communities to Not Safe For Work (NSFW) in the latest protests against the site. A post on r/ModCoord detailed what’s happened in r/MildlyInteresting.
@paul this is an incredible train wreck to watch. I’m dying for a KBin app so I don’t need to use this PWA hold over, but man, I’m never going back to Reddit. The leadership just can’t stop making absolutely dumb, spiteful decisions against the very people who provided them thousands, if not millions, of hours of free labor.
Good luck moderating content, now.
