    Yeah, are they going to try to mod all the subs by themselves now? That’s not going to work out really well. Either there will be no moderation and everything will be trash, or they’ll have to hire people as moderators, which will cut into the profits they’re trying to show. They’re trying to bully people to behave how they want, and I hope it fails badly. But I’m still waiting for people to stop using twitter…

      or they’ll have to hire people as moderators, which will cut into the profits they’re trying to show.

      How many, on what timeline? They could go to this model eventually if they wanted, but with little to no notice it’s tough. (I also foresee niche subreddits becoming frustrating to use when the generic full-time moderators don’t understand them, and who knows how NSFW subreddits would work)

      I have hope it’s different from Twitter, because there’s a party with leverage that’s fundamentally different from mindless scrollers. Not to mention I’m liking the alternative I’ve tried very much.

        They want them to die, so they’ll do nothing about it. It’s not advertisers friendly.

      I was reading a thread on here or Tildes yesterday and someone mentioned that what they think is happening is that the end goal is likely to have no actual mods an just have AI blanket moderators for the whole site removing the issue entirely. In all reality they’re probably right, and Reddit has probably been working on AI Mods for sometime now, so they will only have to do this until they can roll out the ai software. Which will probably be sooner rather than later.

        Why hide it though? It’s a neat idea and if implemented well would be probably pretty efficient. I wouldn’t have any objections to the idea of it.
