„The only long-term solution is improving our product“ What I don’t get is in what way these changes are supposed to improve Reddit. Especially considering that how pissed off many volunteers that Reddit absolutely needs are. Such an unlikeable twat…
You don’t understand, what users really crave are live-streams, chats, trending topics and avatars. That’s what reddit is all about /s
Not just avatars, NFT avatars!
nothing says “swag” like the reddit logo
Are people really that angry? I mean I know we live in a crazy world, but this seems a bit much.
No, I don’t think so. This is coming from the same guy who claimed that the Apollo dev tried to extort him for $10 million and threatened him, when the Apollo Dev had the phone call recorded and proved that he only offered to sell the company.
He’s feeling threatened and trying to make the users participating in the blackout look bad.No, but like saying the appolo dev is blackmailing them, spez is trying to twist the narrative
He even claims that around a thousand subreddits went dark. It was 8,000. Hundreds are already pledging to stay dark indefinitely, including huge ones like r/aww and r/videos.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see sockpuppet accounts starting / running some kind of “r/videosnew” and “r/awwnew” if they stay offline for a longer period of time
spez will probably just instate new puppet mods and forcefully reopen them.
