Reddit CEO Steve Huffman said he wants to end user-led protest by instituting a rule that would allow users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest. NBC News’ David Ingram shares the latest.

      Oh, what’s this? Our new hire just got 500k votes in just 5 minutes. What a popular person, they will be a great mod.

        Bold of you to assume that Reddit would want to spend money on moderator hires. They’d just recruit some fake-power-hungry bootlicker who will follow, for free, the admins’ instructions.

        Are you suggesting that it could get corrupted, so as to favor a person or group of persons? But they’d still have their content, and isn’t that what really matters there?

        Totally agree.

        For a given sub, how many accounts map to individuals vs bots/fake accounts? For real accounts, how many of those actively engage with the sub? This is not a problem for ‘controlled’ user accounts. The legitimacy of any vote will be suspect…no way around that.
