      They don’t need to take over all of them. A dozen or two of the largest subs would be plenty. Those with less than a couple hundred thousand subscribers, don’t really matter much.

        Even trying to take over the biggest subs would be Herculean, especially considering they just laid off 5% of their staff.

        Those subs required a huge effort to moderate before, but it’s going to be 10x worse now that every submission is going to be AI generated pictures of spez doing things to goats or something.

    Of course they are. That is why I am here, Reddit in my eyes is done for either way and once it is on the stock market, it’ll only get worse.

      That doesn’t make it disinformation. The re-opening of kotakuinaction was abhorrent at the time.

      So the top mod finally realized how much hate and misogyny they were pushing and how it was making reddit as a whole worse? so they shut it all down?

      Apparently spez really sympathizes with people who push hate and misogyny, because he opened it right back up for them. Even though the site really would have been better with it gone and without their constant brigading and non-stop harassing of women in the gaming community.

      It was a bullshit reason then, and it’s a bullshit reason now. Back then it was used to help fucking horrible people stay online and have a voice, and now it’s being used as a strike breaker. The “rule” only exists because they didn’t want to lose ad impressions from misogynists. So give me a fucking break.

      spez can eat shit and anyone parroting this “ThAtS dIsInFoRmAtIoN” bs can eat shit too.
