The title is from this video, although that one is very short.

I'm glad I've given up on Reddit after the blackout, this proposal to vote out moderators will only encourage raiding, as only the people who pay attention to the votes will decide who stays on. And let's not forget that one of the cornerstones if Reddit has always been that you can make your own sub.

I doubt votes wouldn't be manipulated by reddit anyway.

I would imagine they'd only count votes from premium accounts. It [partially] avoids the bot issue while making them money off votes.

If someone attempts to manipulate it by paying for premium for said bots, then that's just extra money for them.
