And yet I read something about them taking over one of the popular subs (adviceanimals or something) and removing all the mods and making it public again…
What happened was the top mod, who had been inactive for a while, came online and overrode the other mod’s decision to stay open. This caused a moderator dispute, which caused the admins to step in, and they decided to remove the top mod and reopen the sub.

(And if Reddit was maliciously forcing subs open, why would they choose r/AdviceAnimals?)
If the CEO got caught editing comments and posts, how do I know he didn’t just pretend to be a defunct mod lol
Probably because it’s one of their front page subs? My guess at least. Maybe the CEOs favorite 🤣
