I wouldn't be surprised if they try to stop this protest by allocating a large block of IPO shares to moderators. As they should given how much moderators contribute to their success.

Actually paying the moderators for their time and effort to manage and build your product? I mean - it would be the right thing to do, for sure, but to suggest that Reddit Inc. under its current direction would have such foresight is a fantasy.

There is 0% chance of this happening. Moderators are too fungible

How many mods are there on Reddit that run big communities? For all we know it may result in mods getting $100 each.

Far more likely they'll just remove all the "offending" mods and replace them with puppets
