Tax these mother fuckers. He probably paid next to no tax on that wage. Instead he should have paid 70% in taxes at least

phdepressed ,

Federal income tax currently maxes at 37%

danc4498 ,

Right, it should be >70% for people making this much money. This way the company will put the money into lower paying wages rather than massive single person paydays.

GroundedGator ,

Fine these mother fuckers! We need legislation to limit income disparity between insiders and grunts. It needs to work on total compensation and include contract workers. Any insider making more than 15x the average or median income should have to pay 50% of the difference and that fine should increase every year it’s not corrected.

skozzii ,

You most definitely pay more taxes than any of these people. They have so many tax loopholes for assets and write offs that they might even get a rebate or credit back. So they might be getting your money as well.

I mean, it wasn’t like I was expecting the guy who refused to take down a popular softcore CP sub until it got mainstream media attention to be morally upstanding.

I have no respect for Reddit mods

Just narcissistic idiots

Obviously that’s not about those who mod small subs

It’s easy to justify not paying bots. /s

it’s this. This is what it reminds me of.

LiveLM ,

During a recent Q&A video, Huffman argued that he was totally justified in paying himself more than the CEOs of Meta, Pinterest and Snap combined.

“If the company does well, I will do well,” he said. “If the company does not do well, I don’t either.”

Motherfucker is saying NOTHING. Generic ass, MEANINGLESS STATEMENT

themeatbridge ,

I mean, what do you expect him to say? “Lol, get fucked”?

maniclucky ,

A little bit. He doesn’t strike me as the type to keep the quiet part quiet.

It’s also a lie. If the company does well, he gets richer. If the company does not do well, he’s still rich.

paddirn ,

He’ll still get a golden parachute if the company goes to shit.

capital , (edited )

I think what he means is, his compensation is mostly tied to stocks and therefore stock performance.

No, he won’t be poor if it does badly but it would change his compensation in a huge way.

Edit: .2% (rounded up) of his compensation is just normal salary. The rest is stocks.

Capitalism – in it’s current form, a system where some exploit others in order to make profit.

CitizenKong ,

I think you mean where rich people rigging the system exploit people who have to follow the rules.

Zacryon ,

That’s also what I meant by capitalism “in it’s current form”. Yes. ^^

Yes, communism too. Especially communism.

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

aidan ,

Idk that online forum moderators typically are doing work deserving of pay, and that includes me moderating c/politics

exanime ,

Whatever crappy, lazy, inconsistent, mediocre work they are doing, still beats Spez record of losing money on Reddit for 20 years

aidan ,

Yeah not saying he’s any better lol

_sideffect ,

The problem were the mods who didn’t know any better. Spez hid his intentions very well, and made all the mods look like fools working for free

FartsWithAnAccent ,
@FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world avatar

He did?

_sideffect ,

Yes he did. People are associating what happened with the short term, ie the last couple of months, but spez has this planned for years when we were all in the dark

In the end it was a subset of users that basically told mods “you’re just janitors, we don’t need you, anyone can do your job” followed by a partial exodus and… a major drop in quality on all but the larger subs.

KingThrillgore ,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

Its been obvious for weeks with the slow drip of news, the mods were getting the shaft and nothing was done about it (to my knowledge).

Either they really fear the sobriety from their little bit of authority, there’s a movement that’s going on in a Discord in a back alley and nobody’s said anything, or these people really are rubes, fucking buffoons, absolute morons.

And I doubt the last point because I saw firsthand how Reddit admins quickly turned the argument against the protesting “power-tripping” mods during the API revolt with blatant astroturfing. I saw it. I know it happened, you can’t tell me otherwise.

KingThrillgore ,
@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

At the end of the day, the reddit mods had all the opportunities to once again, protest their working conditions and leave reddit today. But I see no evidence that an organized effort took place.

It’s unfair, and spez isn’t thinking any further than the moment he can sell his comp and move on. But they have all the stakes in this matter and nothing is happening. I know there are efforts on reddit’s part to squelch the moderators, but at some point they have to make clear this isn’t going to work the way it is.

spiderman ,

But I see no evidence that an organized effort took place.

Reddit blackout protest clearly made us understand that if we do any sort of resistance against them they don’t think twice replacing the current mods with new ones even if that can affect the subreddit. At this point, they see Reddit as a cash cow and not a people’s forum. If they didn’t, we wouldn’t be speaking here in lemmy.

100_kg_90_de_belin ,

That’s the same problem that workers in Victorian factories faced. We can call them “scabs”, but they’re people who aren’t conscious about their role in an economic scenario or they simply side with the employer out of habit, conditioning or alleged self-interest.

spiderman ,

idt they are similar. idt mods should be paid. bringing monetary benefits might be nice but i think it will turn moderating as a means of income. people moderate subreddits out of their passion or that subreddit theme might be their hobby and making it monetary will be a disaster.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

but i think it will turn moderating as a means of income

Only if they are paid enough to make it an income.

If they are paid, for example, an annual stipend which reflects their work but isn’t enough to make it a daily job, that would be a huge step in the right direction. You could even make it depend on the size of the subreddit since bigger ones take a lot more work than smaller ones… but never enough to actually live on.

I think a lot of moderators would be very happy to get a couple of thousand dollars a year for their work.

cm0002 ,

Spez could have swallowed his pride and like gig-economified (If that’s not a word yet, I stake my claim lmao) mods, could have probably gotten away with paying pennies on the dollar with the right scheme (ala Amazon turk). I could see the headlines now “Reddit making waves PAYING moderators”, “Make 500 bajilion Dollars JUST moderating for Reddit!” and people would have flocked to it lolol

AlligatorBlizzard ,

The problem is that allowing mod discretion allows for marginalized people to participate in their own communities, and gig economy workers are, at best, only going to remove the most egregious harassment (I used to do something similar for another big social media site, it was an eye opening and horrifying experience - and I didn’t even see the “call the cops” level shit).

I think you’re right that the tech bros would love that move, though.
