Background
zjz was a longtime, active moderator of r/WallStreetBets during its GameStop-fueled explosion in early 2021. When returning senior moderators allegedly pushed to monetize the subreddit via a movie deal, zjz publicly warned in a post that he was being 'taken hostage by the top mods.' Reddit intervened, removing the coup-staging moderators for breaking platform guidelines and reinstating original moderators.
