Short term thinking: apps cost us a lot of money per year, let’s claw some of that cost back.
Long term thinking: hiring enough people to moderate all of the popular subs that will now have no moderators will cost us tens of millions of dollars over future years just in salaries, not to mention more IT ops, HR and the other stuff that comes with growing a headcount.
It’s going to be really sad to see Reddit collapse under its own stupidity :(

Personally, I’m happy it’s dying cuz I wouldn’t have found the fediverse otherwise; this thing is amazing.
