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.
Reddit died with Aaron Schwartz
I might buy ONE(1) share of reddit and ask for it to be directly registered to a stock certificate so I can someday point to it and say "I personally ate a piece of its corpse" out of
Was that the same idealism that led to the jailbait and creepshot subreddits being allowed to flourish? Or Covid misinfo? Deepfakes? The chimpire? Qanon? All that stuff definitely wasn't operating clandestinely.
I've heard from writeups from former employees that the internal culture is a perfect reflection of Reddit as a whole. Which says a lot.
Guy who never worked hard in his life tries to tell other people to work hard.
Yes sometimes these guys (CEOs) do longer hours, but it consits of eating dinner with other Cs, looking at presentations (which they cant judge because they generally have no idea how the actual business runs), sitting in meeting, flying to other meetings and pretending to look at some company numbers and of course having the very very high responsibility that they keep talking about that they actually never ever have.
Does this mean they should make x50 or more than the average worker ? You judge that.

x50?
Pigboy gave himself a $193 million bonus. Do you think the average reddit worker made $3.86 million?
I can't remember who it was, but sometime in the last few years a VC or CEO wrote an article documenting their day and how they "worked 12 hours a day" or something like that. What I remember most is that their accounting of their work included their time at the gym, at least one meal, and something else that few if any employers would consider "working time".
I agree that sometimes C-suite execs do work long hours sometimes, and I'll differ from you in that sometimes those long hours are legitimate and valuable for a company. IMO, it's not the norm nor is it generally worth the premium that most companies pay for those hours.
Fuckin' wannabe Muskrat.
Yep. Exactly. Before Elon went full Nazi and during the API riots, he said that he wants reddit to be like X and run like how musk operates it
Fuck spez
Greedy little pig boy
This dude needs a London smile.
s/London/Glasgow and then we're talking.
I think I'd prefer a Glasgow kiss over a Chelsea smile.
I shadow banned everyone except bots and now my company sucks but NobOdY WaNts To WOrK ANYmOre
They just outright ban people now. Been a Reddit user with zero problems for well over a decade, like 13 years, I’m now banned completely for upvoting Luigi content and saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet which is apparently promoting violence. They’re really going out of their way to purge users.
Funny. I said I didn't understand why CIA hadn't killed Trump yet. That is also promoting violence, I guess... If you completely ignore all the people they've killed in the past with a worse reason than what Trump has done specifically to the CIA.
The least they could've done was banning me for when I said Trump deserves to hang upside down for an extended amount of time in piñata hanging height.
Translation - the employees weren't getting abused until I came back and reminded them why I'm back
Whats weird is how bad reddit works in a basic web browser, which is where the app started.
I think that's intentional, to drive you onto their shitty app.
Fuck off bunker boy.
This is your brain on capitalism
He's basically admitting that now that he's wholly a sellout, he's making more money. La-de-la, tell me more.
reddit is mostly managed by AI filters.
Has this guy got his Texas harem started yet? Seems like he’s speed running the Musk Meltdown playbook.
Was going to say that. Reddit has become a Nazi heaven and center of Zionism. Never thought I had to put these two word together. Now here we are.
Idealistic people work harder than anyone—for idealistic causes.
They don’t work so hard for companies that betray their idealism.
If I have ajob, I'm not going to jump through my asshole just to enrich some Sand Hill Road greedhead unless there's something substantial in it for me.
It's always funny seeing these silicon valley startups have essentially zero retained employees and engineers except the CEO.
All money machines built on the backs of long gone engineers that only exist because they've cornered their share of the oligopoly market.
ahh, the ole, "blame everyone except myself" tactic, very classy 🧐
Hey you have to understand that these CEOs work 2000 hours weeks, doing work like golfing, riding yachts, and having extravagant dinners, while you lazy peasants are doing things like raising your kids, buying groceries, and sleeping.
WOW A BOSS WANTS PEOPLE TPO WORK HARDER?????
"Employees tend to forget that the entire purpose of life is to run yourself ragged for some dipshit who has obtained entirely way too much wealth and will never stop demanding more. It's like they just don't get it. WORK HARDER! I DEMAND TRIBUTE!"
If there was any justice, Aaron Swartz’ ghost wouldn’t let him have a moment’s rest.
I can only imagine the world where we got to keep Aaron instead. 😭
