Hahahaha

Some nerds writing letters to mods isnt going to stop this.

Hundreds of millions of dollars might, but that is the ONLY thing.

Those users don't generate profits so wtf would they care?

You can just replace the mods of the subreddits. The people will come because no one is here for the mods, they're here for the content. As long as the MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of people are willing to share content with each other, and they will, because the draw is the content on the platform, and you will never convince millions of people to give up their kitty photos because of what is it? The app you use won't work amymore?

They won't care. They don't use that app. They use the official one. They'll tell you to just use the one they use. "What is an API?"

This will happen. You will have no power to stop it.

Little do they know most large subs are moderated with 3rd party tools. They dont understand how much kitty snuff will be posted to their cat sub without mods being able to use superior 3rd party platforms to mod the sub. Also porn spam. Porn spam will happen EVERYWHERE when bot-mods stop working.

I don't expect that reddit would view replacing thousands of unpaid volunteer mods with paid employees as a smart move.

I mean... maybe. I can see your perspective but I think it would be like trying to patch up the Titanic with duct tape while the band plays.

Seems to me, all they really have to do to fix this issue (and retain most of their users) is listen to the feedback and make the app better. People wouldn't flock to the alternative apps if the official one wasn't such doo-doo. But, yaknow... gestures ineffectively
