So you can either make fun of the fact that AMA mods literally pay actual money out of their own pocket to moderate a forum filled mostly with movie studios pushing their latest piece of shit and scammy politicians that you've never heard of, or you can make fun of the fact that Reddit, a company with a $1.8b valuation, won't buy tools for probably their most trafficked subreddit.

Either way it's hilarious that the AMA mods have set up a Patreon.

Hi all,

In the interests of full transparency we wanted to let our users know about a couple of changes happening in IAMA. As some of you may know, as moderators we have a variety of tools we have developed to allow us to run this subreddit, above and beyond normal Reddit moderation tools. We have an automated system to allow us to manage the sidebar calendar we all love to watch, tools to collect and appropriately deal with confidential information used as proof for an AMA, and vaious other tools to manage the vast amount of email and modmail we get 24 hours a day.

For many of these services we are able to use a limited free tier, or are recieving donated credits to use (Thanks Zapier.com!). However, some of them we have no choice but to pay for out of our own pockets as moderators. This often costs us more than $50 a month as a team.

In order to help cover the cost of these services, we have just launched a Patreon page. This will allow our biggest AMA fans to donate a dollar or two a month to help pay for the services we use, and maybe even allow us to expand to even cooler features like AMA notification emails, countdown pages, and who knows what other ideas! It will also give us a spot to share IAMA news, behind-the-scenes stories, and find some beta-testers for new features. This is a transparency post rather than a post asking you for money, so if you do want to help us out, please take a look in the sidebar for the link.

To be clear, 100% of all funds gathered will be used to improve the subreddit. The moderators will not be accepting a single dime of these donations for ourselves - it's all going towards developing this subreddit into something even more special. We'd also like to make it clear that giving us a donation won't let you buy a more successful AMA, we're taking steps to insulate ourselves from knowing who actually donates in order to keep it that way.

Money gathered and spent through this system will be reported to all of you through regular mod posts like this - we'll tell you how much money we collect and where we spend it.

If you have any questions about how and why we're doing this, where the money is going to go, what we do as moderators, this is your chance. Ask Us Anything.

Thank you, The IAMA Moderators

EDIT: To be clear, we're not threatening to stop moderating if you don't pay up. If we can't raise the money to cover the costs from you guys, we'll keep paying out of pocket. Would just be nice to have some help. If a couple hundred of you gave a dollar each we'd have plenty of money to expand our tools and work on fun projects.

Sup shitlords,

So apparently as mods of the sub, we are allowed to ask for money. And before you say "oh but RK you're not like the IAMA mods, you're just a weeb faggot who cleans up my internet word vomit and reddit is fucking over those mods by making them pay for services to promote the site while you just sit and post anime pictures while censoring my ability to tell everyone on the sub how horrible women are", a) while Reddit is fucking over the AMA mods a little satire never hurt anyone, b) you don't have to click on my anime pictures if you don't want to see them, and c) I don't give a shit about your opinion, I just want your goddamn money.

So we've set up a paypal account that you can send money to. You can find the link here. So go ahead, send us money. Because we want it. Do you really need that extra 36 pack of ramen noodles from Costco? Do you really need that spare body pillow cover? Do you really need that extra large 2 pack of Axe Body Spray? Do you really need the nippon steel-brim fedora so you can cut your enemies down when you tip? Because I need all of those things so pony up.

So to summarize, pay us money. Pay it here. And also here. And finally here. Give me us the money. So we can mod better and stuff.

Love,

Your Askmen Mods

Edit: To the person who gilded us with this note:

For the poor /r/askmen mod that had to be the sacrificial lamb to beg in front of other men.

This is very kind and all but fake internet money does fuck all when it comes to /u/Uphoria 's cocaine habit so please we need real money

Reddit mods: $74 per month

Chris: $610 per month

I guess their TRUE AND HONEST fanbase isn't as big as they thought.

The story begins here where GenderRevolutionary3 claims that he came to drama because a post from the sub hurt a friend of his. He continues to argue with users about using the word autism, to no avail. Shocked at the comments, he announces that he has reported the sub and it will be gone soon. He continues to gloat about the impending doom of the sub. Finding the response from drama's userbase... worse than he had hoped for, he tries to get help here. Finding little support, he decides to single-handily engage in a war to stop drama once and for all, here, here and here, as well as attempting to argue in more threads. Frustrated that instead of getting any meaningful responses from Drama users he is just getting demands to "show us your bussy" he tries once again to get help, with the expected results, in askreddit, TwoXChromosones and GamerGhazi.

Despite not getting any support in his threads, GenderRevolutionary3 seems confident that he has assembled an army, proudly boasting of drama's impending doom. Confident that allies will flock to his cause, he calls for aid all over Reddit.

Meanwhile, drama has stickied one of his threads, and declared that GenderRevolutionary3 now runs the sub. Some users want him to become a mod, and others discuss some of his posts on other subs here.
