“fuck u/spez” means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn’t familiar with Reddit, it’s just noise.
“FIRE STEVE HUFFMAN” is a clear, actionable statement that has a clear target and goal and actually has meaning to people who don’t know what Reddit is (like say, a potential shareholder or investor)
Idk where to put this since r/savethirdpartyapps got banned so post this wherever will get noise if you agree
For me, it would more be about spez getting fucked and not being able to profit from the IPO. Couldn’t really care less what happens to reddit at this point, but it would be nice if Steve Huffman got shafted as consequence for his greedy behavior.
It’s the shareholders that are greedy. They want him to do this.
And I’m sure if the two guys who actually made the site were still there, they’d have just rolled over and completely killed the spirit of the thing they put their heart and soul into, just because some Chinese holding company wants to increase profits next quarter…
Do you think he’s the end of the line? It doesn’t matter who’s in his position, they’ll be making the same choices he does, because he answers to the shareholders.
Nah, I know he’s not the end of the line. Reddit is dead to me regardless, it’s not like I’d go back if Huffman left. It’s more just about seeing him fail as a direct result of the stupid decisions he made so smugly.
