Disappointed that NPR didn’t elaborate more on how Huffman truly fucked over Christian Selig.

    Human beings talk about interesting things on Reddit. ‘We are not in the business of giving that away for free’

    “But we are in the business of reselling the content that those human beings provide, without compensating them at all, or even considering any of their complaints about how we manage the site they speak on.”

    Fuck this guy seven new assholes.

      And, of course, there are the unpaid moderators. He doesn’t seem concerned at all that they’re “giving it away for free”. The experienced power-mods are the ones in the position to put a serious hurting on spez, and I hope they take the opportunity to do so.

        They won’t. They’re drunk on imagined power and will do whatever the platform asks to keep it.

          Yeah, I think the power trip of moderating some subreddit with millions of members is very seductive. Sadly, it seems very seductive to exactly the people I would not want moderating, but I’m sure ousting conscientious moderators for puppet dictators will alleviate this situation in the future of Reddit.

          Right? RIGHT?!

      That line stuck out at me. It’s bizarrely out of touch. What does Reddit actually produce itself? A shit-tier website (new) and an even shittier-tier app? Everything of value on the site was made by volunteers.

      I guess this is the danger of being openly helpful on the internet. At any time your generosity could be snatched and monetized without even so much as a “fuck you, thank me”

        Been reading Noam Chomsky, and the theme of democratic movements being quelled, one might say mysteriously, is a common global theme. Reddit was that social democracy for a time.
