Haha, good! U/Spez needs to understand that Reddit is nothing without the support of the community. 3rd parties have created the tools moderators need, and moderators do the work for free.
I hope John Oliver will expose this absurd situation that Reddit has put itself in.
Sadly, I suspect spez will see this as a win, since he’s got a major celebrity name-dropping his site and encouraging people to visit it.
But of course, John meant “Reddit” the way we mean “Reddit” – referring to the community, not the company or the product or whatever.
