A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
Lol
So reddit mods do business advertising. What a scam platform
It isn't restricted to reddit. There are ads and bots trying to procure profitability.
There was a wave a few months ago.
For example:

Groundworks been active a while.
people use hundreds if not thousands of accounts to spam/advertise whatever they are selling, obviously they have ways of ban evading too.
I remember back at the beginning of Reddit there was a woman who who modded a shit load of subs and some one doxed her over the fact she was going to advertisers and bossily guiding them through how to navigate Reddit subs. I can not remember her name. She was big in a lot of animal subs and really focused on cats. Anyway Reddit collectively had a meltdown to the point she was getting death threats. She eventfully gave up modding al the subs and disappeared. Man that was like 15 years ago. But anyway but here we are all that time later the the very thing that woman got caught doing this chap is doing and no one gives one single fuck. I wish I could remember her name.
I never really used reddit, so a lot of the history and lore is lost on me, but I remember two similar events bleeding out as news: the AMA mod being fired, and the interim CEO being fired. Both women, and both ultimately scapegoats for the founders (Spez) making terrible decisions.
I remember that happening... Can't for the life of me remember her name.
Maybe it's better this way
Truly, it is. She has a right to be forgotten.
Lead Project Manager and Vice President don't seem to go together. Or are they like JPMorgan Chase where everyone gets the title?
Anyway, that reddit experience might actually fly for a marketing role, depending on the interviewers. Dude better be able to relate some real stories with real results though.
Given it’s a bank I’d say it’s the thing where everyone is a VP.
If the dude was a true higher up he wouldn’t be bragging about Reddit modding
Few places have department wise VC. I know multiple VC at the Barclays.
