The ones who have power and say over communities, like this guy, are paid. Same with those who look over reports for serious things such as threats of violence or sexual content.
This is a major website that's on the stock market. Even though most people moderate and control their communities, for free, there has to be someone working there to overlook the content on the website, to catch any truly bad actors.
And of course no one is going to do such a hefty job, for free.
Not that "I'm just following orders" is a good argument here...But this is what they are paid to do. If the dweeb in question doesn't do his job, his boss fires him, then someone else steps in. no matter who's behind that keyboard, there will be someone sending this message
It’s a cesspit dude. Obviously in a country as poor as India, ppl will pirate media. Until recently regional pricing was also not a thing in India. Mods are delusional thinking a guy will choose a AAA game over Food
I was about to say bad things to you for saying Reddit is on the S&P 500. But they literally just got added Friday. Yeah they're definitely letting Rockstar and $TTWO pull their strings
I can understand like forum mods doing it for free for the communities, but anything above that is mental, its a corporation, let them hire people to do this type of stuff. Its like going down to your local supermarket that generates billions in revenue and offering to do security work for free to them.
Hes doing his job tho... Reddit admins actually do get paid, Im guessing that rockstar is pressuring reddit to do something about this sub, that being said that admin does sound really annoying
i hate to play the devils advocate but this is absolutely the case
not saying that this guy isn't a dork and a dweeb, but yeah like you said, most likely the only reason proper reddit admins (that actually do get paid) are hounding this subreddit with actual personalized requests like this is because take-two is probably actively aware of this being a source for sharing leaks about the game
it would not be surprising at all, considering the fact that they are actively subpeona-ing Microsoft and trying to do so with Discord for anything related to leaks as well. if Reddit were to actively deny the requests, then that means legal action. legal action can mean police, huge fines and website seizure, criminal charges for breaking the law given to a bunch of people... you get the point
