“The blackouts are not representative of the greater Reddit community.” Or so he says. Also:
Q: So you’re saying that Apollo, RIF, Sync, they don’t add value to Reddit?
A: Not as much as they take. No way.
This guy has such a toxic attitude and a ridiculous childish language.
This is the Level of PR he is capable of
we are working with everybody who is willing to work with us
Which loosely translates to “we are going to do whatever we want to users, mods and devs. If they take it, good. Otherwise fuck them”.
What baffles me is that he does not seem to Get that reddit does not take its powers from the 90% of users who lurk on /r/funny and similari big subs. It’s from the powers users and the mods who do god’s work. If those go away, he can make reddit profitable by turning into Facebook and then watch it die.
