    At a communications conference last week, a Bloomberg reporter told the attendees that most tier 1 journalists are looking for stories on LinkedIn now instead of Twitter. It’s gone from vital to junk in just a few months. Without its moderators, Reddit faces the same fate: lots of activity, but most of it junk.

      Its not the loss of moderators, its the loss of content. If reddit hadn’t changed their original self moderation model this couldn’t happen. Or at least, not like this.

      Moderators are not responsible for making content, they just moderate a sub where others create content. Originally users moderated content on their own.

      Pretty funny how reddit’s move to authoritarianism has worked against them this time.
