I have YouTube Premium and on my phone I sometimes get a "Jump ahead" button that pops up on the bottom right corner when the video is in fullscreen. It doesn't just appear during sponsored segments but also during "less exciting" moments of a video like the introduction.

I don't know about karma or gold, but I earned a few death threats as a subreddit moderator. Now that was truly rewarding.

Proof of that happening?

Reddit is not allowing r/finland to poll their users about whether they should shut down: https://old.reddit.com/r/Finland/comments/14f0rgs/discussion...

Didn't Steve Huffman suggest fairly recently that he was in favor of more democracy, including allowing users to vote their moderators out? https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-protest-blacko...

So some kinds of user votes are acceptable but others are not?

I'm not an accounting professional, but the official Starbucks report says that for fiscal year 2022, their "GAAP Operating Margin" was 14.3%. That seems to contradict the macrotrends.net website, no?

I have two main reddit accounts, one subscribed to "serious" discussion-focused subreddits, and another to all the meme picture-heavy subreddits. The latter's frontpage is mostly OK but the former's is completely desolate.

> There's a silent majority - "lurkers" - that the mods have completely ignored

What is there for the mods to ignore, when the lurkers are - as you said - silent?

Paying a monthly subscription to only have access to half of Reddit (NSFW will not be available through third-party apps) sounds like a bad deal to me.

> force communities back open

Force communities back open, how? I've read countless comments over the past few days about how Reddit can just reopen all the privated subreddits with new moderators, without explaining where those new moderators were going to come from.

Curating and maintaining a community takes a LOT of effort, and I'm not convinced it's that easy to find people willing to do it for free. Just think about open source projects and how many have died when the sole maintainer called it quits.
