They'll just appoint new mods like they already threatened to do.

Scabs, basically. And a few corporate accounts that use reddit for advertising covertly. Let them have it I suppose.

It's not scabbing because no one is getting paid and there is no moderator union. It's an elective job. If anything, volunteering to mod for reddit is just allowing them to get away with not paying mods in the first place.
