RE: I decided to write a quick summary on r/cryptocurrency about the shitshow lately

in #sheetit5 years ago

I wrote a few responses on there too. @truthforce writing.

Will add it to this post for one I thought was good.

/u/acidyo the moderators of most reddits are complete idiots you have to keep that in mind, the longer standing ones just crave power and have it.

This is @truthforce by the way, wut up.

/r/ethtrader succumbed to it and now /r/ethfinance is where people went, /r/bitcoin is for idiots and moon lambo teenagers and good discussions are had on /r/btc now. Its the same shit here. Eventually the people who actually care about fostering discussion leave because moderating takes a lot of work and you aren't paid for it. You moderate subreddits and get nothing in return for it except making Reddit bank for their advertisements. You end up withonly power seeking controlling sociopaths in charge of subreddits eventually. Only people who want to control others would want to do this long term, its brutal work if you don't enjoy controlling others. It is a sickness these mods have that can never be taken out of them.

It is a form of free labor(what some might call slave labor) in order to grow a mega corporation larger. It is pretty messed up when you really think about it.
