Is this thing on?
Fuck you u/spez
Reddit’s CEO wants me back, and he’s not having me this way.
My first comment in the entire fediverse will be:
FUCK U/SPEZ
Wow. That is a truly horrendous interview. This saga just keeps getting better. That interview is somehow the absolute worst thing he’s done so far, and he’s pulled a lot of shit.
The only thing more gross than Elon Musk is an Elon Musk imitator. He’s just. so. angry.
The way he setup Pao so he could look like a savior is still the worst thing he has done. Or maybe dealing with CP as a mod of jailbait.
A lot of these tech goons are losers in their personal lives and get huge ego strokes being able to control these platforms. Any questioning of their actions is perceived as a direct challenge to them as a person.
The Verge interview is Here
The tl;dr is it’s the AMA part 2: electric douchealoo
These people who are mad, they’re mad because they used to get something for free, and now it’s going to be not free.
I just can’t believe that a CEO of a company who doesn’t pay their moderators would actually say something so tone deaf.
But yeah keep going back to their site and watch their ads, that’ll show them for sure.
Or, you could do what I do - use [https://old.reddit.com](Old Reddit) with an ad blocker. That hurts them on two levels -
- They have to pay for you to use the site and,
- Their ads are blocked.
Spez is already talking about monetizing users account histories. Just blocking the ads isn’t going to stop them.
Have a citation for that? Because that sounds like a great link for an inevitable edited response to all my comment history
I’ll have to find it, but multiple places he’s talked about Reddit being used by companies to train their AI systems. It’s painfully obvious that he’s looking for both moral and immoral ways to monetize Reddit immediately. I give it 3 months before this is announced.

It’s a reference to the last time u/spez was an asshole. Come on! No need to downvote.
To be fair, the downvotes might also be part of the joke. That comment was the most downvoted in Reddit history before EA came along.
And it’s not like there’s karma on Lemmy so I don’t care lol
