Disappointed that NPR didn't elaborate more on how Huffman truly fucked over Christian Selig.

Huffman characterized the Reddit protesters as a small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.

Yes! Yes!! YES!!! GASLIGHT ME HARDER, DADDY!

Ah, this is what an "adult company" means.

Yeah, only naughty people would associate it with porn. /s

Is that why almost every subreddit shut down for 24 hours? Lol

Do you reckon it's innacurate? I'm not really sure. No one seemed thrilled about the plan that spoke about it there, but then if I didn't know or care what any of this hoo ha was about I'd likely not comment or read anything on the matter.

The community shut downs are huge, but that decision is controlled by smaller groups who are the ones particularly affected by the proposed changes to how Reddit goes about things from now on.

It's in his interests to promote what he's saying as true, but I don't know if it actually is untrue. Would be nice, I'd like to see them fall flat on their face with this but what he's saying doesn't sound all that implausible.
