I know Spaz is the adam mod but still under our rules, he should never be allowed to post anything in the website ever again. He broke the number 1 rule in Reddit and many subreddits for mods. He can post whatever he likes in his official place but never in other subreddits. Everyone knows how annoying automod can become, it should be possible to do it or enough to annoyed him.
If it did have a different CEO tomorrow, it would due to recognition by investors that the guy had done an absolutely shit-tastic job of handling this - so yes, something would have changed.
end goal would be the same
the journey would be the same
the messaging would be the only thing to change.
but it’s still a CEO, so they’d still primarily think in terms of profit; either way the enshittening of Reddit wouldn’t be averted at all
That’s predicated on the simple, compelling - and I think wrong - belief that all for-profit organisations are equally shitty.
