    Yeah, spez is treating striking mods like spoiled toddlers, but insisting on making money himself while making their unpaid work harder. It’s eroding their good will to volunteer, for what future? Paid mods?

      No way, they’d need to pay 3 millions a year or so to replace all moderator work in the platform.

      They’re trying to optimise the company for the IPO, showing stuff like “you can sell this data to Google for LLM! It’s self-moderated! No third party apps eating your adbux!”. It’s just that it’s backfiring… badly.
