What happened to r/MildlyInteresting? Haven't opened Reddit since June 12th
They're removing more mods for staying dark or malicious compliance shenanigans. Whatever is left after this will be shells and shills.
Maybe they will replace the volunteer mods with people who get paid for their labor.

Legit that would depend on how cheap the labor was and how long they need to pay them. Like shitty pay outsource labor to keep up appearances for a week or two could be a thing.
The plan could be to get IPO then dump stock before anyone realizes the entire mod team depends on Google translate.
Would be hilarious if Google charged them for the use of their translating services.
Shells, Shills and Boughts

They forcibly removed (and banned, at least in some cases) the mods. It's really wild.
