Whether you agree with the admins or the mods or neither of them, the simple fact is, this is a major embarrassment for reddit management. It especially looks bad for potential and current investors, who must now realize that their investment is in the hands of a group of individuals who are not on the payroll and thus not liable in any way for reddit's success or failure. Add to it that reddit management is being very clear they mismanaged a high-visibility termination, and it makes the entire company from the CEO down look like amateurs.
It was also recently stated by a former admin that instead of bringing in technology people and people that were in touch with the product, they brought in a bunch of middle management and monetizing agents. Honestly, I knew it was all downhill when the FPH subreddit was banned. I didn't particularly care for it, but it's about censorship. Until then, reddit had stood against it.
Does anyone really know why all the subs suddenly came back up? If no one knows then that seems highly suspicious of the admins. They always took a strong stance against messing with moderators and sub drama, but with everything that's been going on who knows how far they will take it.
I had read that they said management had told them that some wanted changes for mor
Creators will be worked on (lip service and no real action) and most moderators made a good faith move to put them back. It's basically analogous, I feel, to Americas stance on the labor movement. Many of the subs I subscribed to said, this doesn't effect us, we won't join in. And others said, for the greater good we feel we need to keep working so our patrons can keep being served without interruption-lest they leave and never come back.
That attitude that even a small inconvenience is too much for us to do for a greater good. That's a bad attitude.
