The metaphor isn't quite correct. Mods aren't paid, after all.

Yeah I know, it‘s still work though which the company profits off of, even though it‘s unpaid.

My goal in making this wasn‘t really about that though, I just hate this sort of "forced positivity and corporate doublespeak language" which this text that I‘ve seen on here many times employs to steer the opinion of Redditors a certain way. I tried to point that out by basically going "What if a company with striking workers wrote this text? Would that be absurd enough to convey how it makes me feel?" That is also why the title is the name of an interesting study on this topic.

The lukewarm reception makes me think I kinda failed at that, ah well, it was a fun little thing to do and even bad content helps the fediverse be more lively, right?
