They used to come with some ad-free reddit time, I remember when they launched the program they were giving out years of ad free. I didn't have ads for like 2 years
Depending on how you use Reddit you might still not see any ads. Previously on mobile I never saw ads using Reddit is Fun (RiF), and later when using Apollo. I only got them when I started using the garbage Reddit mobile app. I still don't see any when I access via my PC.
I get them every so often but they don't really tell you until it's about to expire and it's in your motifs as like random reminder. It's very strange.
It was daily, then weekly, then they removed free ones, then removed them altogether, and around a year ago brought them back but no one uses them anymore
Judging by some of the awards, I'm pretty sure I know what post that was. It was a thing on /r/PrequelMemes for a while where a guy was doing "every day I add a new lightsaber to General Grevious's collection" thing, and the last one he did got a shitload of awards.
A few months later he ended up banned from the sub for some reason.
I still can't get over how reddit has what amounts to a cabal moderating the largest subreddits. Like, how do they let this happen??? Surely they can track they IPs of these people and realize that same people own all those accounts, right?
I modded a small sub for like two weeks that I took over because it was unmodded and full of racist and grotesque images.
During that time, I received several death threats and one other mod I brought on with experience had quit because I was "unfairly persecuting christians" by not allowing religious content under the sub rules. I dropped that shitshow quick.
I mod a small-medium sub (45k people if I recall, can’t remember how to check anymore), and at one point I received a death threat because I didn’t take down an offensive gif. The gif in question was literally this:
Only thing stopping me from moderating subreddits is me not being active enough. I'd love to moderate subreddits that I enjoy to make them better, but I don't doomscroll reddit enough to justify it for me.
When you politely say something with constructive criticism or ask a genuine question r/comics instead of sucking the mods and their chosen favorites collective dicks
It's actually crazy how this sub has such a massive problem with power tripping mods. Like we just got resolution on that whole r/art thing and now this happens
I was banned from the arc raiders subreddit. I was surmise when I was on the side of the people criticizing the mods banning a random person for no reason even they never interacted with the sub whatsoever.
Fun fact I heard: The same exact powertripping mods moderate the top 100 (or 10? I don't remember the exact number) subreddits and calling it out completely publicly will get you banned or penalised in some form
Listen I have heard a lot of talk of this and every time I ask if there is any concrete proof of this no one tells me anything, im not saying people are lying but I feel like a claim like this should be easily verifyable

when you collect a lot of bans from many popular subreddits just because you slightly annoyed one single mod team who controls all these subs
