Any update on this?
Smart enough to foresee it, not smart enough to avoid it.
It's a violation of the FLSA to use volunteers to do unpaid work at a for-profit company, even if the volunteers are OK with not getting paid. It's only going to take one mod to file a DoL complaint before Reddit scraps all the mods or centralizes the mod duties under actual employees.

Why do you think an IPO will be treated differently?
Not everybody’s metric is $
Steemit[1] is the reddit alternative built on Steem[2].
Would you appreciate being given a description of the image first, or would you rather just hear them talk about something you have not seen?
For we know it only added your biases.
What do actual people this is relevant to say? What do the actual users of this think?
I co-own a Google group called Blind Dev Works. I had no idea this existed.
1. Accessibility 1.a) cannot be dictated or selected when using Dragon Naturally Speaking 1.b) appears as unlabeled in NVDA's element list
We need to stop designing around visually impaired people and hold the tools into account. Why us Gov.uk spending 10's of millions on this rather than fixing the tools?
This makes no sense
"In r/DnDGreentext, one user spends hours transcribing 82,000 characters of text from screenshots of a Dungeons and Dragons roleplay game."
Interesting that Twitch is sort of flipped from what remote_phone is proposing. Mods are not paid, but content creators are paid.

Top post specifically ask what do the actual people who might want this think.
Closing your eyes and pretending you are blind as an answer....
Compared to what does /r/blind think?

I think the first comment is quite short and, while it doesn't bring a lot to the table I think it's a feeling echoed by a many in the current community. (Not necessarily me, but the zeitgeist seems to be there). So, in this light, doing a disclosure on each and every comment is... Unreasonable, especially if it's something you feel deeply about.
None of that's very relevant here though, other than showing that I'm intimately familiar with the dynamic from spending a lot of time on both sides of it.
Thats a pretty good argument for it to be relevant.
It's not a competitor to Reddit in any meaningful sense though. If anything, my "target user" is almost the complete opposite of what Reddit prioritizes now. Calling it a competitor probably only makes sense if you still think of Reddit as the way it was like... 5-10 years ago.
It's invite-only to register, but feel free to email me at the address in the blog post and I'll send you one. (That offer's open to anyone else too.)
I knew some context that i thought was relevant, so I added it. I wasn't trying to pick a fight.
The latter breeds the trust for the former to work.
That means that, in my point of view, Deimorz raised a good, but biased point while failing to fully discose the contest within his comment, and notatoad brought extra missing context. Both, good things. But I would refrain from painting Deimorz as intentionally misleading, considering this, at most, unintentionally misleading.
I don't think that's what happened here; in the same way that you saw Deimorz's comment as not malicious, I didn't see the response mentioning their connection to the issue as malicious either. You mention that the "disclosure was done sometime in the past", but I had never heard of them or the site they founded, so I found the comment replying with context to be informative.
