What spez wants is to be a notorious billionaire, respected for making reddit a profitable social media company. What he is, and what he probably always will be, is a shitty leader who doesn’t actually have a lot of business sense making decisions using emotion and ego and alienating a chunk of the user population.

Hard to say if he will suffer any real consequences for this, but at least in some important circles he’s lost a lot of clout.

Better that than suffocating to death slowly on the bottom of the ocean. Sympathy for their families.

I am certain that lab grown meat will be one of the most heavily scrutinized advancements in food technology probably ever. If there’s even a hint that something is wrong with it the news will be everywhere.

Think of it as killing two birds with one stone: they monetize users by getting AI firms to pay for all the valuable content redditors have posted over the years, and they kill off app competitors who are giving redditors alternatives to the mobile app.

That’s really all it’s about.

This will be when the true test for Reddit begins; if the outcry is large enough that spez ends up relenting in some way then he will have already alienated a lot of users. If the outcry is minimal then I guess he won, but the prize hardly seems worth the drama that has been spun up.

Boy, me too. Completely news to me; I am getting old! 😂

I agree; Discord is great for voice chatting, but I can’t follow conversations in there. Maybe I’m getting too old but it’s not a style that I think is a natural evolution from Reddit.

I am shocked and surprised.

I hope the Democrats hammer away at every single Republican on abortion rights and reproductive healthcare over the next election cycle.
