Luckily for Reddit, the vast majority of its actual 'workforce' consists of dickless losers on power trips who mod for free.

I think back to the early days of Reddit sometimes, like 2008-2009. It was better in a lot of ways, and more open, but also tremendous cringe-fuel. I remember how people on the "trees" subreddit would put little numbers in parentheses at the end of their posts to indicate how high they were (1-10 scale I think). Makes me want to crawl right out of my skin just thinking about it LOL. And then you had all the "tips fedora" bullshit, Aalewis-style atheist circle-jerking, etc.

I like visiting Reddit but you can't post. It's all bots or crazy left wingers. You mention anything about Biology at all and you get perma banned. It's ridiculous they get such a 1 sided echo chamber over there. Elon buy reddit next and fire every mod?

If it wasn’t for porn, they’d be as broke as BuzzFeed.

A bunch of middle aged, housebound groomer alphabet people with social issues are not a 'workforce'.

I guess that's what happens when they bomb out of dog walking or something.
