Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says the company used to be so idealistic that people were 'not working very hard'
(www.businessinsider.com)
Glad I deleted my account. Fuck reddit.
reddit is mostly managed by AI filters.
He's basically admitting that now that he's wholly a sellout, he's making more money. La-de-la, tell me more.
It's frustrating that rich scumbags just get to live a rich life. Where's the justice in that? Saint Luigi deliver us from assholes like Huffman.
Ah yes, Steve showing his true colors.
"Forget moral convictions or a greater purpose than self enrichment. Reddit is public now baby, this thing makes money, not societal progress!"
And in the vacuum, Lemmy rises up.
Maybe people should go back to "not working very hard" because Reddit has spiraled into a shit hole ever since it's users became ad revenue generators.
Fuck Steve Huffman, fuck Reddit, Nazi sympathizing shithole website.
Work hard?
Work at all?
Employees?!
Is this what he calls the mods?
This guy has a face in need of a fist, as the German saint is translated.

place idealism above hard work
To translate from rich asshole, this means act ethically instead of do what I say.
Reddit died with Aaron Schwartz
Fuck spez
I have a gut feeling that if looked for, a downward trend in the in the quality of reddit starts when he came back.
Well I guess he's effected some change there in that he's got me working hard to avoid reddit.
Self destructive policies inside and out.
Can capitalism just die now please?
