Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.

Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.

He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.

I'm betting it will not be one account one vote. He'll stack the deck, just wait.

Even if it is one account one vote, the bot armies will be there to ensure the outcome the admins want. Moderator puppets to do the will of the admin team, fuck us pleb slobs that are the community and make his shitty site worth visiting.

After debating for a few days and watching u/spez spiral even further out of reality. I nuked my account. All comments and posts edited to gibberish and then deleted followed by my account.

Huffman has said Reddit is not profitable and in Thursday’s interview he said that Reddit’s annual revenue is less than $1 billion. Meta, owner of Instagram and Facebook reported revenue last year of $116.6 billion.

Ouch

Pinterest has around the same amount of MAUs as Reddit with $2.8b revenue...

I don't think killing 3p apps and eventually old reddit is gonna make the difference.
