We recieved this in our subreddit modmail..

"Hi camping mod team,

We wanted to give you a heads-up that your community may be included in a limited experiment that explores different ways for people to experience Reddit conversations.

For select existing text posts, some people may see an optional watch-or-listen version that presents portions of the post and comment thread using narration, captions, and visuals. The original post and comments will remain available and unchanged.

This experiment does not require any additional action from your team. If source content is edited or removed, the corresponding experimental version will be taken out of view.

This is an early test, and feedback from moderators will be important as we evaluate it. If you notice something inaccurate, inappropriate, or lacking important context, please report it through r/modsupport.

Thank you for everything you do for your community!"

Why is Reddit expecting us moderators, who already contribute enough of our time for free to keep this platform alive, to give feedback and help them implement what is something we didn't ask for or we want for our community?

I also think this is just another new way Reddit found to train bots for free... Which is scummy af.

We don’t want or need that in our subreddit. We are extremely strict about links to external content and now we have this “pinned” at the top.

No one asked for this and it appears we cannot remove it. This is not cool Reddit. Stop pushing for ads disguised as something helpful. And how are those suggested articles helpful in anyway?
