Reddit CEO says the mods leading a punishing blackout are too powerful and he will change the site's rules to weaken them
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman thinks the site's mods are too powerful. He said he plans to change the rules so users have the power to vote the moderators of subreddits out,He said the current system, where mods can only be removed by themselves, higher-ranking mods, or Reddit itself, is"not democratic" and compared it to a"landed gentry."
"And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic." The iOS app Apollo, for example, which has been using the API for eight years, said it would cost $20 million to continue under the new pricing guidelines. Rather than pay, the app's developer Christian Selig said it would be closing down on June 30,"I don't see how this pricing is anything based in reality or remotely reasonable," he said per Ars Technica.
