They would want to test it on one subreddit first and see how it went. The quality will tank, but this is something they could get away with.
Yup. They only care about the ipo at this point. Money is far more important than ethics.
And I thought they wouldn't go any lower. It's disgusting how far they're willing to go - it's like they're so eager to prove us right.
Itβs depressing that Iβm not surprised one bit. At this point, I donβt even think itβs worth sticking around until 3PA shut down on the 30th.
I'm quite happy here now. Given up on reddit. The day Apollo's API key is deleted is the day I edit all of my comments and give up on the platform completely. It's strange I how feel no regret over saying that. It's just the way it's going to be.

Investors: "You took over a sub in concert with a user named u/PussyWhistle?"
This is amazing. So many of reddit's problems I've heard described in terms of the ultimate root issue that the site can never ever violate a mod's god-given constitutional right to keep the subreddit they've started and planted their flag on. So if the mod of /r/news hypothetically just stopped moderating and let the subreddit fall apart and become full of racist shitposts, there's nothing that could be done -- everyone should just move to another subreddit, and all the newbies typing /r/news and ending up in a defunct shithole should just figure it out for themselves. This is how you got many of those /r/truexxxxx subreddits. A subreddit was not a democracy, the mod owned it. Even if the whole community wanted something, their will was insignificant before this prime directive.
I always thought this was a strange hill to die on. But seeing reddit say "oh... now that it's inconvenient to us personally, that's a different story"... wow
I wonder if they saw a bunch of traffic trying to access advice animals and decided it was a good testing grounds for removing mods.
I was looking at the reddit protest stream when it happened. Since it only says it reopened, i was a bit sad that such a huge sub would withdraw their desicion.
This makes more sense, and its awful.
Reddit? Are they new? Never heard of it π€£ Probably won't get very big
Greedy people fuckin' nice things up. Nothing new under the sun.
They did the same thing to admins of other major subreddits even before the blackout. They also removed initial posts regarding it on major subreddits. Thats why I chose to leave.
This is downright terrifying. A major escalation of the blackout and deleting your content - with the help of european law - is a nice response to that, if they do not step back. This is perhaps the most extreme measure to be taken, short of destroying the data center itself. An emptied reddit history is a massive loss of knowledge and perhaps questionably damaging for the outside world.
So much for all the "oh, it's not hurting our revenue" dismissals.
Apparently, a heck of a lost of drama involving this.

I saw a lot of people predicting this before the blackout. I expect a lot of the mods will refuse to moderate.
