Of course not, reddit doesn't have a product without its mods. The site itself provides no service or value, precisely because of its user anonymity. I don't share anything personal on it; you use reddit for its framework, nothing more.

The value is its aggregate, human-generated information. It's like a shitty Library of Alexandria, and it's meaningless without mods who (mostly) ensure that only (mostly) verifiable humans are adding to the archive.

Without mods, or with AI mods, reddit is no more trustworthy than Amazon's reviews. It becomes Dead Internet Theory manifest. Why the fuck would I visit a site like that?
