I was a digg power user then transitioned to reddit when that all went to shit and my intended grift of making money through selling digg visibility disappeared.

I've run dozens of subreddits and still do although incredibly lazily like 99% of legacy reddit mods that have been in their positions for way too long.

I started the use of subreddits as hashtags via spamming /r/hailcorporate in response to every shill post on the site.

I even got a job in the game industry as an internet janitor too and have worked with EA, Ubi, Paradox, Sega and others. I firmly believe in that title for any online moderation and community management, all we do is keep things clean for everyone to enjoy an online space and ego in online moderation is a serious problem.

    That was what people called the users with the high number of followers on Digg. It basically enabled you to frontpage any content you wanted by default. It's usage has evolved since then where it was pretty much a really specific thing that referred to a group of people whose content would always frontpage no matter what they posted.

    The most well known one was mrbabyman

      I know what it means. I'm just saying this post is dumb and you should go back to reddit
