I was a digg power user then transitioned to reddit when that all went to shit and my intended grift of making money through selling digg visibility disappeared.

I've run dozens of subreddits and still do although incredibly lazily like 99% of legacy reddit mods that have been in their positions for way too long.

I started the use of subreddits as hashtags via spamming /r/hailcorporate in response to every shill post on the site.

I even got a job in the game industry as an internet janitor too and have worked with EA, Ubi, Paradox, Sega and others. I firmly believe in that title for any online moderation and community management, all we do is keep things clean for everyone to enjoy an online space and ego in online moderation is a serious problem.

Ask me anything

    I avoid the liberal political spaces like the plague so I'm not aware, I also focused my efforts specifically on corporate brands and advertising as opposed to party content.

    I am aware of a number of neoliberal cabals though. Some that definitely have fulltime employed members performing work on reddit. One such cabal operates /r/enoughcommiespam and is spread across a number of other spaces that haven't taken off like shitneoliberalsays and succdem. There is also another cabal that stems out of /r/badunitedkingdom, with mods there engaged in subreddit takeovers and very serious activism, this groups has at least one paid member. Most are just ideologues and true believers.
