I don’t know anything about the mod situation on any Reddshit, but this article seems to purposefully confuse terminology describing the tenure of the described mods, seemingly inverting the common-sense interpretation of “original”, “previous”, “experience”, “restored” etc., possibly even switching descriptive meanings mid-article.

Combined with a rational presumption of fuckery in any actions by Reddshit admins, the somewhat misleading description of the “original message” (“YOLO”? Seriously?!!), and the usual editorial slant of Business Insider, the reader should carefully parse the meanings of each sentence of this article with a healthy dose of skepticism.
