    Spez is out of touch.

    He’s forgotten what internet users are.

    We are an entire cultural shift away from rule following and shit giving, to a movement of non-compliant Boaty McBoat Faces who will happily bring the whole system down on top of ourselves.

      I doubt he really cares. this whole thing looks like “maintain a minimum viable product” until IPO.

      he just wants to get paid, I cannot imagine he will care if reddit burns to the ground after the check clears.

        I don’t like spez as much as the next guy but I don’t think this is true, as CEO of a pre IPO start up a significant part of his compensation would be equity/equity options etc so he probably cares a bit more than after the check clears

    Let me get this straight. They do the work for free, and are upset you took their tools. You then tell them open the subreddits or we open them for you. So they do that, and change some rules, now you’re upset and telling them how to moderate their subreddits. Like seriously Reddit. Why not just moderate the subreddits yourself?

    You have people who have given you FREE WORK for decades, they have increased the value of your site, and they’re justifiably angry, and all you’re doing is shitting on them more.

    What a fucking joke. I know this won’t directly affect the IPO but I hope some companies are looking at this and realizing that Reddit admins have made all of this so much worse.
