Oh 100% i see moderation suffering. But reddit will only care about that when it directly affects them financially. Which is to say that there is an amount of abuse and bigotry that reddit is cool with as long as it doesn’t bring lawsuits or scare advertisers
100% agreed.
Pulling out my fake crystal ball, I predict “Click-baitification” ™ with an emphasis on quantity over quality to keep engagement numbers up for the IPO, while the comments will devolve into only low effort memes
Guaranteed the ipo backers will have their eye on that. I mean if all it’s gonna be is bots and click-bait (ie: few real people) who the hell wants to spend millions/billions on that?
