Reddit’s CEO said he expects this blowup will pass eventually.

This was precisely the wrong thing for him to say if he wanted that to happen

He expects so because he's going to have his admin staff de-mod all the rebels, open the subs back up, and ruthlessly ban anyone who says a word about the controversy. The user population that remains will eventually go back to sleep, and all will be well in Reddit-land.

Lol good luck finding new mods that will be any good after pulling a stunt like that. They certainly aren’t going to pay for any either.

The News and Worldnews subreddits prove there are people still willing to lick Spez's boots.

They never shut down, along with a few other biggies. TiL just reopened.

This. There will always be people attracted to power, even power as ultimately meaningless as being a reddit mod. Spez will enlist a new squad of wanna-be petty tyrants.
