Reddit isn’t one to let understanding their own site get in the way of money making opportunities.
Based on…basically all of their actions ever…I don’t think they actually understand their own site at all.
They foster community, sometimes they’re the only ones posting content, and they try and negotiate with the users to calm them down.
This. So much this. I’d say that, if more than 20% of your moderative actions are removing content and/or banning users, you’re either power-tripping or fucking lazy. Because most of the time you should be doing the things that you mentioned - talking with the users, posting and commenting, so goes on.

I can’t wait for it to ban the admins and nuke the shit subreddits that should have been shut own ages ago.
My ten year old account was banned with no appeal for “report abuse”. I literally reported once, a post that was not marked nsfw with images of dead children. Go figure.

Is anyone surprised? I’d bet they are using ai powered bots to increase engagement and repost content.
Sacrifice it all for that incompetently inept incoming IPO.
As horrible as that seems, at least the AI might be impartial and non-partisan when it comes to levying bans, unlike Reddit admins who will ban you even if you didn’t break any rules at all, as long as they disagree with your opinion.
Reddit mods are one of the few “jobs” that I’m perfectly fine with AI replacing. There’s absolutely no way AI could do a worse job than what’s already being done.
You say jobs… the mods aren’t paid.
That’s why it’s in quotations
This doesn’t replace mods. It’s just another way for reddit admins to find ways to auto perma-ban users.
The AI can be trained however they want, and has no conscience. Mods might actually reach a whistleblowing tipping point.
Down voted by Reddit mods I see
Nah, just the few naive folks who think a handful of good mods makes up for the horde of insanely toxic ones. The percentage of crap Reddit mods is so high the role shouldn’t even exist. Perfect use of AI.
The AI isn’t replacing mods. It’s working alongside admins.
