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.

    It was insaaaaaaane how much of it there was. Utterly crazy. And people were STILL claiming we were nuts about it.

          Tbf that was at least 1/2 of r/cth during the primaries. We practically took over r/ politics for a while. DNC controlled subs like rwarren were too ban happy to turf.
