The dumbass does not have an original idea or vision in his body. After turning his users into consumer goods, now he’s just thinking about reddit r/lounge 2.0 and combining it with reddit awards 2.0 and reddit talk 2.0.
First of all, that only works if moderators get payed or you get some extremely gullible and power hungry ones, which for the first I doubt his money scrounging self could allow and for the second, that’s the problem.
It will also open up a whole can of worms that reddit certainly has deserved for some time now, people suing if they are banned from these communities, specially if it was due to personal fickle prerogative of one of the mods. But considering what reddit has gotten away with, this last point is not really that likely.
