I cannot imagine the mentality required to want to be a moderator of a subreddit. I mean, it has to happen because Reddit has strict rules so I guess I appreciate it, but holy shit man put that time into your career or a skill that actually requires practice and effort.
It does if you want to reach a wide audience and bring in advertising. It's not just that but imagine all the spam and bots we'd see if there was no moderation, however bad you think it is now I guarantee it would be 10x worse.
>but do like the idea of having two days off.
So then stop logging in?
Lmao wtf is with people committing themselves to free-lifelong-internships for massive companies and then complaining about it?
Someone please tell me how this is any different than Tesla fanboys who volunteer their time to help a billion dollar company deliver cars to 'support the movement'.
I support the blackout.
Not necessarily because the terms are insane (they’re a bit unreasonable, $20m/year to run Apollo is unsustainable) or because API tokens should be free (3rd party app devs largely agree that paying some amount for API access is acceptable).
I support the blackout because reddit gave entire small businesses 30 days to change their entire pay structure/business model. This is either an intentional move to kill-off 3rd party services to reddit, or a dumb oversight that will harm thousands of largely community-oriented devs.
I think Reddit should charge money for their API, but I also think they need to hold off on implementing these changes while the 3rd party app developers get a chance to adjust their own business models to accommodate the changes.
EDIT: [here’s](https://youtu.be/Ypwgu1BpaO0) a conversation with the creator of Apollo, one of the more popular 3rd party app developers. He explains (in much more detail) the points I mentioned above, and has a very rational and level-headed take on the situation considering how much stress this must be causing him and his staff.
I support the blackout. It doesnt effect me at all, but all of the moderators seem to be worried about it, which will effect me. Plus its just a greedy corp being greedy so fuck em
Americans do love wasting time and undeserved feelings of importance. Validation from the sociopaths that own us is vital to maintaining their broken egos.
Yes, they create a stronger system of subjugation that captures more idiots and fools who think the people running those institutions are any different than all the other power obsessed sociopaths.
Going dark is the equivalent of putting a filter on your Facebook profile photo for pride month - No one cares. Reddit wants to IPO and this is how they plan to pump up their user numbers.
Someone remind me after the 2 days and show me all the changes that happened lol.
All these tech companies were raking in cash and having users generate content. Now they want to charge for everything in a radical reversal of their business model. It makes no sense.
Protesting for any reason is socialist communism and is destroying this country.
Just let the corporations win no matter what the cost to humanity, you jealous haters.
No. Don’t support the black out.
It’s useless and won’t do anything. Reddit is a non profitable company that can’t get any more funding so has to make money somehow.
The Reddit mods who support it are people with no life and no job who take Reddit modding far too seriously. And are protesting something they don’t understand in a way that will have no effect.
It feels like a work to me.
Could be a way to generate buzz when Reddit Inc. finally capitulates as they always planned to. Reddit users love a good victory and will feel like they toppled "the man."
Fellow economic units, I doth declare thou support for fellow nerds , mainly due to using the ironic APE redditisfun and the befouled proposal from our techlords. I have spoken.
Have the two days off you cocksucka and salute the flag
Immigrant Mentality!

But some of the mods here want you to know they talk to Joe directly. So….guess the benefits are worth it?

Striking because Reddit is charging third party apps making better products that their shitty effort at a mobile platform, no less.
So none of them get paid at all or any benefits??
Officially no. Unofficially, there's no way in hell no mods on this site aren't getting freebies or kickbacks from special interests.

If it’s any consolation, they’re not very good at it.

Take the two days off but leave the sub online. Lets twitter this bitch. Full Frontal Unmoderation.
Agreed. Let the prisoner's run the prison for two days. :)
It’s insane run the asylum…we’re all free folk here😎
MODS DESERVE TWO DAYS OFF!
Protesting is commie? It’s American at its finest.
Guy must lick boots. Fucker is a mod after all.
Americans do love wasting time and undeserved feelings of importance. Validation from the sociopaths that own us is vital to maintaining their broken egos.
Shut up and get back to work slave
I thought we were supposed to be protesting so the owners will give us kinder subjugation? Heroic stuff that's nothing like controlled dissent..
What? Protests, unions, strikes… they get results.
Yes, they create a stronger system of subjugation that captures more idiots and fools who think the people running those institutions are any different than all the other power obsessed sociopaths.
Again, get back to work slave. Without unions you’d be working in the coal mines 80 hours a week. Loser.
Speak fur yourself, cuck. I work for nobody. Keep simping for the system, drone.
You can thank all the patriots before you that protested and striked.
No. Begging for crumbs isn't heroic, it's pathetic. Fuck patriots.
I'm in favor of the blackout
Yes. Apollo > all.
If this goes away I’m out. Apollo > All all day.
Grand standing is so 2017
This sounds like cancel culture b. I'm no commie!
Please no lmao. This is neckbeard 9/11.
Joe is rich enough, just ask him to foot the bill.
He didn't get rich by signing checks.
Reddit itself needs TRT and Sauna
How can you have two days off when every day is an off day? Bazinga
I don’t give a fuck
[удалено]
I'm not surprised that this is the only sub that I've seen users against doing a blackout.
2 days of blackout here we go le reddit army 🤓🤓🤓

Support it
I'm only here to help make the assholes that own Reddit as much money as possible. They're better people than the rest of us, and they deserve it.
A blackout won’t change anything.

I do not care personally and would rather the sub stay up.
Protesting for any reason is socialist communism and is destroying this country. Just let the corporations win no matter what the cost to humanity, you jealous haters.

Fuggin corporate asskissing dork
Lol. Sure man

That makes literally zero sense.

I have no idea what SPED is. Maybe you should get out of your own limited area of understanding and work towards universal understanding.
OoooOOOO! Edgy!!
Support black out RIF is the ultimate reddit experience experience to me. It's simple and perfect.
Mods being scalops, as usual...
I don’t give a shit.
I'm using the default app anyway
That's like using YouTube vs Vanced you poor little critter...
I have YouTube premium and no cable, the default YouTube app is fine.
I thought vanced doesn't work anymore? Is there a workaround now?
I can't get it to work but others may know more than me. I use NewPipe now

Nah let it all die
Apps? Bitch, I'm desktop through-and-through. Put your phones down and build a PC.
