So I'm in favor of spurring conversation about how mods are unpaid workers, and this is presented to you instead of pay. Group up with other mods for a class action lawsuit and use that picture as a group chat icon.

You are a hero, thank you.

What's the general consensus as far as fear for future profiteering? Right now these platforms are great because the are run by people who genuinely care. Do you think there is any risk of this growing so much that federated content reaches the front page of search engines, followed by advertisers wanting space here? Or what about risks like reddit gold which was initially just a fun add on, which then became a "temporary" paid feature, which ended as a full scale scam.

Anyway, I love what we have for now, I just want to know what everyone else is speculating for the future.
