I agree with this. One of the more irritating things about places like Reddit is that they’re full of low effort content and conversations get filled with a lot of noise from people who don’t really want to meaningfully contribute.

you can shoot people dead, but you can‘t shoot them to work

Well fucking put.

I’m surprised they even waited this long. Of course, unprivatizing subs is one thing, but let’s see them try to moderate all of that content without the unpaid workforce that they’ve been used to. If a mod team is willing to take a sub private, it’s a pretty clear sign that they’re not going to give up and get back to work if their sub is forcibly made active again.

The shit show is only going to get worse from here.
