Its almost as if user-created-content sites are un-MBA-able... in the way that MBAs are cloned to measure only certain metrics in a soulless gaze toward a self-exit from the growth hocky stick launching pad they are attempting to build on bad faith and anti-patterns...
Reddit is a cluster that manages to ONLY keep going because of how agressive mods can be about their positions, but as we have seen time in, time out, MODs positions get molested by ADMINs and ADMINs posing as MODs. MODs on the take.
When I ran /r/conspiracy for nearly ten years, I had brought up the fact (way early on ~2009 maybe?) about reddit accounts being sold, and votes being sold. This was just as this was starting to hit reddit.
I suggested a catfish of whomever was trying to buy accounts with mod access, and expose them/disclose what the market rates were...
That was before being ousted by an admin + their friend/shill mod account...
The point being that when Reddit IPOs - there are undoubtedly mods who have/are/will-be compensated/profit when IPO hits.
