The joke is that this November your vote counts exactly as much as a senile retiree whose political sources are nestled between a thread of gay furry porn and a thread of kids wearing swimsuits.
Steve Huffman: Compensation, well... A few steps down the road what I would like to do is when I say empower communities, I think there’s an extreme version of that, which is where we bring economics into this. Allowing communities to have business models. And hopefully you can use your imagination there, but I think there’s a lot they can do and that would open the door to communities having money and potentially moderators having a share of that. So I think we’re pretty far off, but that’s one of my, kind of, fantasies, that we can elevate communities to such a degree that people can actually run a business or earn a living on Reddit.

I mean, their argument surprisingly holds up, it's a bit weird that your average run-of-the-mill r/the_orange racist post gets that many awards in so little time. Something's up, and I applaud the act of getting r/WRD banned for more dramacoin, but anyone who unironically spends money on this site deserves to be mocked and shamed.

WRD primarily consists of the lost souls of TD that wander around Reddit upset and confused that they can't say the g*mer word wherever they please.

Yeah but also they have good points.
Content moderation is cancerous.

If I'm not banned within 24 hours, whoever posted that is a big fat liar.

Well if they think gilding is a false flag to astroturf bannable comments, why not make gildings hand out bans like we did?

Tbh everyone should be able to see who awarded comments so they can get bashed like they rightfully deserve.

We should have a special icon if you gild your own post. These are the kinds of people who have tried on numerous occasions to perform autofelletio.

This actually seems rather plausible to me.
