or else what? They'll bring in paid moderators to do an actual job?
There's idiots lining up out the door to get a taste of fake power.
The quality of the work is not going go be the same though...
Do they care, though?
I mean, they will when those same powertripping mods begin banning over petty things. That's how you get people to move from subreddits / Reddit.
That has always happened in Reddit. Nothing new.
That would invalidate their position as "we're just a platform and not liable for the things our users post". They'd have to take responsibility then and I'm not sure they've got the resources for that.
