The only real end to this is reddit taking ownership over moderation, and hiring paid moderators for all the subreddits, turning off user created subreddits.

Maybe it'll also mean turning off user generated content too, and only have admin made posts, the same as Digg did. They could hire the power-users to keep making the relevant posts.

People you don't have on contract are a liability

They don't need users to generate content anymore. They have LLMs trained to strategically produce the best comments.

I wonder how long it would take to notice.

Shadowban all users. Respond to their comments and posts with AI generated responses only visible to the poster. Redditors famously don't want others to know their handle so they won't share it around. You could only tell from a signed out device reading something you commented in.

Flood the site with generated posts and 'engagement' that is all ad friendly. Turn the whole place into Weenie Hut Jr.

Do this pre IPO then bail forever.

I wonder if that would constitute what the SEC calls "Internet fraud" at that point.
