    Reddit has made clear they have no respect for their users, especially their most active users responsible for creating and moderating their content. No matter what reddit does or doesn’t do now, it is obvious it will continue to get worse.

      It’s also a wake up call to those who created content and did tons of free moderating for no gain other than personal prestige … it is making us all realize that whenever we put in extra effort into a social media website that is privately owned - we create the content and reason for the sites existence but we don’t financially benefit from it, someone else does who did no work to create any of it other than to claim ownership over everything.

      It’s the same old story from a thousand years ago or even the arguments of worker rights from the 1800s … we create the means of production but we receive no benefit from our work
