Main points: He plans to make moderators popularly elected to more easily vote them out.
Hopes the next frontier will be subreddits as businesses.
He does not want Reddit employees to take on the work. Moderator hours were valued at 3.2 million last year, 3% of reddit’s revenue.
It’s the bots that’ll rule.

Unless a sub is private… anyone can vote in polls, even if it’s restricted. Reddit may even have it’s own bots jumping in at that point.
I wonder which is a less fair, russian annexation referendums or reddit mod votes.
