That scumbag energy, holy smokes. He’s executing reddit right in front of our very eyes. It’s just sad.
Dude absolutely hates third party apps. Calls them his direct competitors and demeans them. Even says he ‘made a mistake’ allowing 3rd party apps. All the while forgetting that there was no official Reddit app for over 10 years of the company existing. Why didn’t he ban 3rd party apps then? Fucking ungrateful.
Not that that wasn’t obvious from the start but it’s good he’s pretending less and less that it’s about cost instead of him just wanting to kill third party apps off.
So he’s like: I’ll rather sink this entire ship then admit I/we went overboard
Yikes
“The blackouts are not representative of the greater Reddit community.”
Of course not. The vast majority of Reddit are lurkers that don’t interact with anything and just mindlessly consume. Even bots add more value to a platform, than most lurkers. It’s the content creators and people that interact with them through comments, that create value.
When reddit was showing how well reddit gold paid for server costs, it usually broke even.
That was when there was far less ads too.The costs surely exploded by adding lots of staff and their own image/picture hosting, but I don’t see the benefit in there.
Spez is a spaz
Don’t use disabilities as swearwords. They are enough of a burden on a person as it is.
What a painful read… initially I would’ve been ready to pay to keep using my favorite reddit client – but hearing about the exorbitant pricing, then the deadline, and now about the way they’re treating their own community? They couldn’t pay me to stay.
