Good riddance. The moderators are the worst part of Reddit. Just pay someone to do their job.

If reddit isn't profitable now, they're certainly not going to be profitable without thousands of hours of unpaid labor being done for them.

Ha. There were some weird posts from new users in subreddits I frequent.

'we need to rise up against the mods the blackout is an outrage!'

It was met with unanimous wtf is wrong with you, go outside. I get the feeling spez is creating new accounts and posting as them again.

I take it users will be able to vote out Admins and the CEO as well?

Why should the users have any vote over anything?

Well, for one, they're the sole value prop for the site. They generate, rank, and curate the content in concert with mods and admins.
