Because it isn't about money. Reddit is a website for the manufacturing consensus across the broader internet.
They do, and it gets worse than that. In the past, reddit accidentally revealed that a huge amount of its traffic comes from the US Govt.
Yes, I get responses and downdoots, not shadowbanned.
"I have no dick, and I must rape"
Lol that would mean something of the human is left inside them, no they're probably just arguing who has to get out of the chair to go get the order of chicken tendies from the door after the door dash guy left and wouldn't bring the bag to them.
Mods for video games subs (for example, /r/thesims) are sometimes rumored to get free DLC/expansion packs. I would estimate that many subs for crap games that have overzealous mods either get free DLC given to them by devs or just take over the sub (somewhat common).
There have been lots of rumors about the /r/NFL mods because of their odd moderating behavior.
I'm assuming the rationale for considering this is making the incredibly gay 'protests' that happen every so often more difficult to coordinate by breaking up the incestuous powermod cabal a bit, but not enough to seriously disrupt general operations, since it's presumably not that easy to find the right kind of psychotic, terminally online lunatic to do it for free. It would make sense. While the gay protests never achieve anything, they're presumably very annoying for admins.
It's funny to imagine what kind of mental gymnastics this Redditor is going through to avoid not accepting the truth, though to be fair this is more of a general pattern with political moderates starting to absolutely hate recent waves of Indian immigrants rather than a singular rare Redditor mental insight moment. Trying to talk to a Canadian about pajeets in a neutral manner now is like asking a Euro to talk in a similar manner about gypsies at this point. There's always some leakage of negativity.
No, nigger. This is what a Reddit badge of honor looks like:
But nool, if u/Umdlye isn't allowed to moderate all 10 of the top 10 subreddits, xey can't ensure the CPC gets to propagandize the normies and xeir commie agitprop tugboat will dry up! That's literally a genocide! It's a human rights violation if we don't give like 50 dysgenics absolute control over a third of the modern internet!
Only took them over a decade to realize having your whole website run on the unpaid work of 20 or so cross-dressing mentally ill losers was a bad idea. Admins should've crushed the janny cabal when they started mass banning everyone who'd ever posted in naughty subs in 2015 or so, I remember you'd randomly get locked out of half the site.
