I'm curious as to how much money Reddit are spending on their attempts to change the narrative with articles like this.
Probably one of the reasons why they are not profitable. PR costs.
This is the thing that gets me. I'm fine if Reddit wants to diversify revenue, or ask developers to pay a fair share. But the callous disregard for developers, users, moderators, and communities they built is beyond the pale. I don't know how someone can look at the timeline of events and how Reddit has handled this and think, "this is a company that deserves my money". Huffman's comments in the press alone, leaked or not, make him look like a giant d*uche canoe. The moment my saved posts are transferred out I'm gone.
Did you just censor the word douche?
Ayyyyye don't at me.
...yes. Yes I did.
