I have a feeling like he is being squeezed by the investors. It feels like they want a tiktok/Instagram clone and he is the one that has to tell the Reddit community.
I don’t think this was his vision for the site or he would have done it years ago.
Like it doesn’t make it less shitty but more understandable I guess?
See I don’t think it is adequately explained by stupidity. Especially the curbing of NSFW content, he knows where the traffic is coming from. If he had a problem with that he would have been more drastic about it years ago. It just feels like this isn’t just his idea.
