Things are moving fast again, so this is going to be another quick and dirty post… Reddit is now removing mod teams without any pretense of speaking for mode...

I don't think Reddit cares. People talk about well run subs as good things but reddit admins don't really see mods as curators they see them as janitors. They don't like it when mods curate subreddits they want up votes to be the only thing that matters.

I doubt askhistorians really has the numbers (the numbers the imaginary advertiser or investor demands) to do anything to fight back.

they need engagement! Not removed posts and comments! Clickbait and especially ragebait are number makers not these posts with 90 % removed comments.

I respectfully disagree. A sub like AskHistorians generates tons of traffic for the site via google searches alone. It's also got 2 million subscribers that happily remain subscribed for the quality content with all the spam filtered out.

Google hits are probably the least valuable page view. They have killed far bigger subreddits for far dumber reasons. Like AMA. Is history a highly valuable advertising interest? I have no idea but I've never seen a history based advertisment.
