Lmao I called it earlier today. He's more worried about this than I thought though because this is really soon. Forcibly reopening subs is a powerful move from Reddit's end, but it's the nuclear option. It takes any perceived power away from protesting mods, and will risk Reddit paying for moderation in the future. He's trying to scare the strike... it means it's working.

Yeah, that's exactly what reddit needed. For a bunch of angry mob trolls who don't want to respect community guidelines to go ahead and vote out mods enforcing said guidelines. Reddit gonna be straight up 4chan in less than a year.
Wow, one of the rules of r/redditrequest is not bring drama, flaming or accusations, so now they're completely going over their own rules bringing all of that because some users might not like how some mods run the sub.
I don't think he understands trolls and spammers are the most crying babies when you take down their posts and tell mods are running a dictatorship, haha.
This will mean fetish prone subs are going to be taken over by OF spammers, some clothes subs come to mind.
Thank you for the article, but can we talk about the eye-cancer that MSN has de-evolved into?
I click on the link, see the first 3 lines of the article (that I cannot actually click on to read the rest) followed up with an infinite wall of ads and "other articles you may enjoy".
Sounds like you need an adblock
what I thought about kind of became true: everything he does right now is to make more profits, to work towards the IPO.
What he doesn't realize is that's not how this community works. It's in many ways crowdsourcing content and tools from the community, and the community won't be crowdsourcing just for him to make a profit. And the same goes for mods; they wanna moderate communities they are proud of on a platform that gives them freedom. If they get too much pressure from admins or the CEO and don't like the direction the platform is going in anymore, they WILL leave.
he doesn't realize what he's doing.
Spez is a fucking dick.
Let's get him on an AMA to discuss further. Oh, wait...
That AMA was such a bullshit fail. But it was entertaining.
mad king level shit
After debating for a few days and watching u/spez spiral even further out of reality. I nuked my account. All comments and posts edited to gibberish and then deleted followed by my account.
Is there an available script somewhere? Would love to do the same.
I downloaded and used redact on the app store. Really easy right from my phone
OK so it's basically US politics now? Lol. Sham Wow. This is actually pathetic and made me crack up.
