Title says it all. If you think Reddit's been trending down lately, just wait.

What Reddit fails to understand with their decades of industry experience and 2k employees is that without their users, they don't have a product. Moderators work for free. Creators work for free. These people didn't do it for Reddit. They did it for you and me.

I think they do understand this, to a point. That's why they keep threatening their mods instead of outright removing them.

Except they have outright removed a bunch. All but two of the r/TIHI mods were purged, as an example.

Their reopening efforts aren't looking so hot...

r/tihi as of [Sat Jul 8 19:30:18 ~EDT 2023~] looks like its back to pre protest affairs

It looks like it's back, but are they really? One of the posts from the last 12 hours is "Thanks, I hate the new Sonic" with a still from the movie before they reworked it. I smell a repost bot in action to make it look like there's more traffic...
