That's exactly the question that all of the rest of us have about the reddit admins demanding millions of dollars from the app developers with a month's worth of notice. Why on earth are you criticizing the moderators? Have you never heard of the concept of a strike?

A strike hurts the company's owners primarily - much less so the company's consumers. This primarily hurts the company's users and does virtually nothing to the owners. Even worse, it highlights the dictatorial power reddit mods wield to be able to unilaterally decide to shut down their boards.

Don't hurt the people you want on your side.

> Why on earth are you criticizing the moderators?

Because 99 days out of 100 the majority of people including Redditors hate Reddit mods for being power tripping egomaniacs who actively censor any discussion that they don't agree with. It's a literal meme at this point how bad Reddit mods are - but today they are the 'heroes' because it suits the narrative.

It's amazing how many people have bought into the mods agenda regarding this whole 'strike'
