Always felt dirty on Reddit. Corporate garbage.

I'm definitely going to short this stock

It's OK though, they offered their top moderators an offer to participate in the IPO and also sent them goodies and snacks, what more do you want ?

I think he is seriously devaluing someone giving those mods Reddit Gold

Ok, serious question: were the moderators offered share options, or are they hoping that the company would eventually compensate them? Or is this discussion blanketed by an NDA?

No to all 3 questions afaik.

Yes, some of us got this email on Monday.
Pretty sure most old and/or active accounts received this regardless of being mods, though.

We must all as a nation, stop using Reddit, it's way too ban happy anyway

I got perma banned there a couple years ago for making someone upset.

Are you saying he's doing an excellent job on maximizing output?

But reddit hasn't been profitable, right?

The moderators who run much of the site are not paid directly, but they're definitely in league.

Powermods took over reddit a long time ago. Hell, I'd go so far as to say reddit secretly promoted r/the_donald and other extremist subreddits, and had a direct hand in getting him elected.
