Reddit CEO seeks to end site protest by allowing users to vote out moderators
Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.
The title is from this video, although that one is very short.
I'm glad I've given up on Reddit after the blackout, this proposal to vote out moderators will only encourage raiding, as only the people who pay attention to the votes will decide who stays on. And let's not forget that one of the cornerstones if Reddit has always been that you can make your own sub.

I've not been keeping up with Reddit, bit what is the general mood from users?
I remember seeing some threads announcing blackouts getting tons of comments saying that it won't help and the blackout should be longer. Not to mention the movement of people wanting to torch their comments.
Is there any truth to them saying that this is only a minority of angry power tripping mods? Like, this seems a very odd move for Reddit to make unless they were super out of touch.
Apparently Reddit has been restoring deleted comments, since they technically own them. Not sure if that's true though; just saw it mentioned somewhere today.

The majority of users don't even know about 3rd party apps and probably are just inconvenienced that their subs are private.
Reddit management also wants to make it seem like it's "a minority of angry power tripping mods" so they can shift the blame and make the protest lose credibility
More and more users seems to get angry towards the mods of closed subreddits from what I saw in the last 2 days. People are selfish.. :/
