A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated "1 year ago".
The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: "That solved it. Thanks!"
Edit: added temporal context.
Instead of "because lemmy", I'd say reddit now charges money for the content, but they did not pay the creator.
That's a problem with many companies... for example, Google Maps relies almost completely on its local guides that spend many hours of their free time adding content to google maps. Google makes money with ads, but in my >5 years of being a local guide, I only got a 15% discount for Google store as reward (after being a local guide for 4 years) which I don't even need...
I don't mean to brag, but I was a very active Guide for a couple years and I am still in the top 10% even though I haven't posted a review in two years. My profile info shows that I have had hundreds of thousands of views.
They gave me a pair of Google Guide themed socks. They were cheap, poorly sized, and wore thin quickly.
My wife wrote a lot of reviews on Google Maps and all she ever got were some socks.
It's infuriating, and even more when you start looking for that profit pattern in companies that range from "philanthropic" foundations leeching from volunteers while buying their own companies stock, to academic journals with CEO's earning ridiculous amounts of money over research that someone else paid.
