I beg to differ: spez has ruined reddit for everyone.
Not for himself, as he just joined the billionaire club. I would probably have ruined it for a billion as well, if I'm being completely honest.
I don't think I would. If it were a zero-sum game where I either have good reddit and no money, or modern reddit and a billion dollars, I'd probably take the money. But its not like spez was a broke man barely surviving paycheck to paycheck before he ruined it. I just don't understand the greed rich people have to constantly take more for themselves when they're already doing great.
because the thing they strive for is getting more. it's about status. they only give it away if it somehow nets them more wealth.
Enablers get payouts too, though.
Wait till those he sold it to find out that the membership numbers are full of people who have been permabanned and won't ever see their ads.
It's a problem inherent to centralized online platforms.
That's when things started going off the rails yes. Remember Victoria and the good ol days?
