They messaged /r/Finland and told them that a small subset of users voting on the poll is doing a disservice to the users who don't vote.
Apparently on reddit, not voting is the equivalent of a no vote. Imagine if real life politics worked that way.
Reddit also lied, they said the sub got 20m unique visitors per month while the moderators can see those stats themselves and said the sub only gets 20k-30k unique visitors.
It's nonsense. Reddit wants the moderators to act as paid employees, but for free. If you modded a large sub would you want to be treated as an employee that reddit owns? Fuck that.
Raises questions about all the other figures they've cited with regards to their value to investors and all the traffic they get
