It’s obvious that Reddit as a company has no respect for its users and less than that for the mods. It’s a thankless, difficult job that isn’t even a paid position. I think a lot of us have probably quit real jobs for less bs than Reddit has pulled.

So why stay? Why bother with protests and such when the company has made it clear they don’t value your work or your opinions? Why not just pull out en masse and let the place burn to the ground?

    As a (soon to be) former reddit mod, reddit moderators are all power hungry. Modding and feeling like they’re important is a coping mechanism for many of their lives.

    You’re asking the people who quit reddit why they haven’t quit reddit. Maybe ask over there?

      Because I deleted my account and I don’t want to give them any more of my time or thoughts :D

      I got some good answers here though.

    Wouldn’t it be more effective to simply delete whole subreddits en masse? Not only would that spit in spez’s face, but it would drive many to other sites like here. Or am I missing something on account of being a low tech old fart?
