Reddit is a potential B Corp or non profit masquerading as a VC backed tech startup with exit or ad revenue potential. Bag holders get tired eventually.


Reddit is building the best content moderation tools for humans - by blundering in every possible direction, often in direct opposition to potential progress.

Mod tools and the data on what works is the untapped resource.

Every other major data or tool set for moderation is behind an NDA.


This was my take at one point, but a lot of actions made it clear that's no longer the case, and it's now more of a social media site/app that also has porn.


Maybe more like porn ads, its like all attention seeking to direct people to only fans.


What bothers me about OF is that it has turned authentic communities into billboards. "Why are you entitled to free porn?" OFs defenders will ask as they completely miss the point of the communities they have hijacked.

As the saying goes: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
