Weird. Guess Reddit needs to put more resources into moderation.
Edit: Finished reading article, and it may be slightly more complicated than that, but not by much.
When 99% of you mods are unpaid volunteers, as is your business model, that may prove a bit challenging.
I mean, not really. They had it working out great for years.
Then they killed the API.
Copyright DMCA filings never went to the mods. Those are legal requests and not handling properly can be a nightmare complete with lawyers.
Those requests went via https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/requests/new - no volunteer mods or API requests involved.
If it was only the API, they showed them the stinky finger, bold move.
