I'm genuinely curious. What's it like as a dev or just a corporate mouthpiece (I don't have any way of knowing your actual role w/Reddit) making recurring posts (and replies) like this that get downvoted into oblivion?

Does anyone at Reddit make note of the continued wall of animosity that the company has garnished from its "landed gentry" moderator community? Will things like that ever be addressed earnestly?

This is an honest and sincere question that I believe and constantly see from these kinds of posts is a massively outstanding issue.

In terms of the sitewide reputation of Admins, and how Mods specifically see them, it is going to take years to repair that ruined relationship. They have squandered and ruined any remaining goodwill they had with the moderators who have a clue, and only once in a blue moon will their announcements be taken seriously.

Speaking as someone who attended ModWorld. It was awful. Corporate and saccharine. Admins are literally the embodiment of the crying behind the smiling mask meme. They live and act on the website as if they aren't using the same one we are. One of the most sickening aspects of ModWorld was when Spez jumped in the chat and absolutely hijacked the segment (which was interviewing the mods of a large food based subreddit that I can't quite remember) derailing the entire thing. Putting polls in the chat *"100 upvotes and I'll change my username to u/FuckSpez"*. This man doesn't have an ounce of humility or regret for what he did. It was a pretty bad segment as well, so his hijacking of everyone's attention did not help.
