Just the very idea they make any profit despite utilizing almost universal unpaid labour is ridiculous. The only issue I see with moving forward is that the user base leaving that website and flocking to say… here; except for those willing to understand workers rights, anti-capitalism, or FOSS, the majority of new users seem to only seek to replicate Reddit, and honestly reddit as a whole has needed to rot off for a while thanks to not only the bots but the general and growing toxicity of the websites’ userbase and management seeking to continue that dopamine rush driven content stream and drama theatre.
I love this website for what it is even though I just arrived, I don’t want it to become reddit or replicate reddit, these people can’t seem to break their redditor addictions and see there can be something NEW here unrestricted by capitalistic profit desires. Hope they come around tbh.
I imagine this would lead to worse political oppression. Most of the people who run the big social media platforms are affiliated with secret services or the military. I can’t see them knowingly employing or giving discretion to anti-capitalists.

Apparently if Reddit paid mods 20$ an hour, it would cost them 20 million a year. They made 1.2 billion dollars last year.
