Reddit CEO Steve Huffman tells NBC News that he plans to institute rules changes that would allow Reddit users to vote out moderators who have overseen the protest. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/reddit-protest-blackout-ceo-steve-huffman-moderators-rcna89544

@nbcnews I'm sure that'll go over great. Who exactly is going to take over the free labor the moderators have provided once you vote them out?

@Cutterpillow @nbcnews bots, but it obviously won't work as well. If #reddit is not going to pay their workers then they can't really make any demands of them, and they're certainly not going to pay them.I agree totally with you, this will not go great. Either the mods will stop working for free and Reddit will become flooded with spam or they'll be replaced with bots who will upset the users that submit content, resulting in less content and a different group of p'd off users.If they upset the mods and the people that submit content, all that will be left is people genuinely addicted to the service and lurkers who will just leave.Perhaps free labor isn't a sustainable business model. If your whole company hinges on people working for you for nothing, that will surely fall apart eventually.

@nbcnews This isn't going to end well for Reddit.
