The funniest part of the article is how he's slamming the actions of unpaid moderators while saying "they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free".

Good. He should replace them with paid ones.

Reddit's paid workforce is (was) about 700 strong. They just laid off 90 people. There are about 21,000 moderators that are active on a daily basis; each of them moderating subs on topics they're passionate about and are very familiar with. It's gonna be fun to watch the results if every current mod quits and they actually have to provide paid moderation.

I hope if they make it so the community can remove moderators, and they also replace the mod teams of the protesting subreddits, that the community will come together and always vote out any mods they put in place.
