What is going to happen when Reddit ipo’s and the employees benefit financially from it, but the moderators who actually make reddit what it is get nothing?
What about the users who post content? Are they expected to get something too? Youtube and Twitch pay people who make content, in addition to paying moderators.

Transparency is not worth it if a lot of people agree with you? Transparency is not worth it if it's something you care deeply about?
That is NOT what I wanted to say. I wanted to say that sometimes, lack of explicit discolosure can be (IMO) excused if the interest is not intentionally obfuscated and disclosure was done at some point in the past. That means that, in my point of view, Deimorz raised a good, but biased point while failing to fully discose the contest within his comment, and notatoad brought extra missing context. Both, good things. B…

(deimorz is former Reddit staff and now operates a Reddit competitor)
I also probably did thousands of hours of unpaid moderation and development work on Reddit before I worked there. None of that's very relevant here though, other than showing that I'm intimately familiar with the dynamic from spending a lot of time on both sides of it.

Which competitor? Can you link to it please?
It's not a competitor to Reddit in any meaningful sense though. If anything, my "target user" is almost the complete opposite of what Reddit prioritizes now. Calling it a competitor probably only makes sense if you still think of Reddit as the way it was like... 5-10 years ago.
It's invite-only to register, but feel free to email me at the address in the blog post and I'll send you one. (That offer's open to anyone else too.)
I co-own a Google group called Blind Dev Works. I had no idea this existed.

Twitch moderators get paid? That is news to me. Where do I sign up!
Interesting that Twitch is sort of flipped from what remote_phone is proposing. Mods are not paid, but content creators are paid.

i don't know that it does make a difference to his comment, but on HN it's a standard practice (that i like) to disclose when commenting on your employers and competitors.
I understand your feeling, but it's also HN standard practice to assume good faith. I think the first comment is quite short and, while it doesn't bring a lot to the table I think it's a feeling echoed by a many in the current community. (Not necessarily me, but the zeitgeist seems to be there). So, in this light, doing a disclosure on each and every comment is... Unreasonable, especially if it's something you feel d…

I don’t know how that makes a difference to his comment. Which is exactly what I was thinking.
