    Interesting spin, considering that posts about the blackout are some of the top upvoted posts in some of the subreddits with 80-90% upvote rate. But sure it is the evil unpaid mods.

      I’ll admit I had no idea what it meant, but after reading that comparison to land owners, I was like yeah no that doesn’t make any fuckin sense. Mods make literally no money for their labor.

    This dude keeps giving these absolutely batshit pull quotes to reporters and then his other executives whine about reporters not focusing on the parts they like, it’s like corporate PR 101 shit

    Like he whinges about “needing to be an adult company” but like the first rule is to not lose your cool with the reporters lol
