Reddit subs with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitely

Where will reddit get enough mods to police the hundreds (thousands?) of subreddits each with tens of thousands of members that are rebelling against the API changes? Blocking/firing the existing mods would make the site descend into chaos.

They are really only going to care about the top tier subs, the rest will be replaced by the community. So really we're only taking 20-100 subreddits, depending on definitions.

Depends on what you consider "top tier". 26 subs with over 20 million subscribers are private or restricted. 86 subs with over 5 million subscribers. I was too lazy to count, but there's several dozen more over 1 million subscribers and a ton over half a million.

I'm skeptical they can afford to lose all those subs or replace their mods.

Probably wherever they're getting all the accounts that are astroturfing and regurgitating all the same points on HN and other sites.

I recently learned this is actually something that college aged people do for extra cash.

I don't know... I've been on there on and off all day, and it's honestly better today than it has been for a long, long time.
