> So this is clearly just about getting back that monetization.

and back that normal experience of millions of readers of those subreddits.

[cyanydeez]

Which was earned via moderation and 3rd party apps

[riku_iki]

time will show if old mods and 3p apps are that critical, since both are removed now.

[ImPostingOnHN]

time already shew, since the subreddits exist as they are now

obviously taking what they built and saying "I built this" wouldn't show anything but spez's pettiness

[riku_iki]

reddit team's contribution in "building" is not smaller than those mods.

[ImPostingOnHN]

of course it is: reddit hosts bulletin boards, the community (mods included) built the subreddits (both creating content and attracting new users to them)

[riku_iki]

Ok, looks like you realized that mods just are part of community who built subreddits.

And current power mods who declared they own subreddits also not all mods (current and past), but unknown share of them.

[davikr]

Moderators should have thought of all the people that can't live without their daily "fix" before interrupting their volunteer work for a few days, right.

[riku_iki]

moderator's of subs from above extended their activities past few days.

[evandale]

except the community voted for a new normal...

[riku_iki]

could you give a link?

[predictabl3]

No, no. If you purport to know what redditors supposedly want, you can read the OP and simply go to the listed subreddits and see the top posts for the votes/announcements.

edit: I mean let's be real, you've been panning for reddit for two weeks. You're concern trolling asking for links.

[Fatnino]

Send him a link to a butthole picture

[riku_iki]

I actually checked "interesting as f" subreddit, which I am also long time subscriber, and couldn't locate poll right away.

[ImPostingOnHN]

why?

[TpA3GvjQk5bq2fY]

The key point that you seem to be missing is that those millions of readers voted for the mods to take the action they are taking.

You're the minority and you're expecting to run the show. That's not how it works.

[riku_iki]

I couldn't find poll on interesting as f subreddit where millions of users voted for a porn on front page.
