    Don’t be shocked if reddit itself secretly replaces a mod with a staff member or more likely intern for the large subreddits. They want their advertising money.

      Honestly doubt it. They are trying to make money. Staff members would add to the cost when they have always been run by volunteers.

        to protect the ad revue it will most likely be worth their allocating paid headcount or staffing up with contractors, at least in the short term, which is why this is precisely what’s going to happen

        They will probably add additional mods, but I bet the top mod will be an employee. Thus they can insure no future protests.
