That dude is pathetic.
Oof. I read a decent amount of comments, definitely getting shill/snitch/power seeking vibes, add to that the admins…what a shit show
This is hilarious tbh. Please don’t get me wrong, I really feel for the mods who put so much time and energy into the sub (all subs for that matter). It sucks.
But god, watching reddit implode feels so fucking good. Spez is an abrasive asshole and, it turns out, also a moron, and it’s nice to see his web site fall from grace so publicly.
Dopamine-addled zoomers when something takes more than 5 seconds to happen:
it’ll never happen!
AOL and Yahoo still exists and their CEO didn’t make a sobbing tiktok video inside their car, which means they won!
They’re shooting themselves in the face, but the gun won’t go off until Friday. They’re kicking out everyone who is addicted to the site enough to install a third party app for it. I really hope that RIF and Apollo redirect people to Lemmy after this weekend.
I don’t think it will. They will go with the “single greatest resource for AI data” angle and make bank. They aren’t ignoring this backlash just to kill some apps.
Yeah, which is precisely why it’s important to ruin the product with random spam, racism, overly sexual comments, lorem ipsum and for good measure some fetish porn and gore images.
Wasn’t Microsoft training an AI from Twitter and it basically turned into the aforementioned garbage?
I doubt that companies would enjoy to train their models on a foul dataset filled with nonsense, hatred, porn and gore.
Spez is an abrasive asshole and, it turns out, also a moron
Is he really abrasive? I haven’t seen him say anything outside of what I’d expect an exec of a company to say.
Is he really a moron? Dude is walking away with a lot of zeros in his bank account. From what I can tell, it sounds like he’s pretty happy with the outcome.
God I’m so tired of seeing people equate being rich with not being a fucking moron.
God, I’m so tired of seeing people deduce false conclusions from statements they don’t want to hear.
Right.
People aren’t smart because they stumbled into a handful of zeros. Everyone blows Musk but he was just born into blood diamond money. He didn’t actually do anything. Neither did Spez, he just makes money off other people’s content.
Strip all these CEOs of their extra zeros, strip them of their user generated content, then ask them to rebuild their wealth by actually providing a good or service and watch them flop.
Right-wing brainrot, the rich have to be successful, otherwise why were they licking those boots?
I haven’t seen him say anything outside of what I’d expect an exec of a company to say.
Then you really haven’t been paying any attention whatsoever.
For example, do you honestly expect a company exec, on the eve of an IPO, to tell a news reporter “We’ve never made any profit” on the site that’s been billed as “the front page of the internet” for at least a decade, with hundreds of millions of users? That’s a smart executive business move to you?
Gotta make money for when the world ends.
Can we find his bunker and take turns shitting in it?
is he really abrasive?
Spez is a liar, a cheat and a habitual editor of comments that insult him. He’s also incredibly petty and rude.
is he really a moron?
He hired 2,000 employees to run a site like Reddit, has effectively destroyed the website’s image and the ongoing protests have revealed to people why it’s such a shitty investment.
His riches are all luck, not brains; he can’t even sell one of the most visited sites in the world without gutting it first.
Let’s not forget that Daddy Elon is his biggest hero and Reddit could become a shit show like Twitter.
So one individual’s bank account is more valuable than a community for millions world wide?
Death of the Commons in deed indeed.
So one individual’s bank account is more valuable than a community for millions world wide?
Lol, no. Where did I even insinuate that?
Just let it burn down at this point. Shorting this stock is going to be easy easy money
I am not a broker, this is not financial advice, don’t sue me if this doesn’t work, etc
But basically, you’re guaranteed to double your money. You literally can’t lose.
Remember kids, “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent”.
If you’re a mere mortal you have to wait for your broker to have a sufficient number of shares available for shorting. If you’re a giant hedge fund or other financial entity with a blatant disregard for the rules, then sure. You just short the stocks naked and issue a failure to deliver if you can’t locate enough shares to cover.
I’ve deleted all my content I can across 3 accounts and a decade of posts and comments one thing though I have thousands of coins. I’ve never bought any before they are all rewards from posts. I kinda want to spend them on something.
I deleted my 11 year old account history yesterday. And will be deleting my account on Friday. I’m gonna delete my other accounts today, save for my porn account, which I’ll keep until they pull a tumblr. I don’t feel so bad about it since they don’t get any advertising dollars from those subs.
I’d suggest hanging on to those empty accounts for a while, just to be sure you’ve gotten everything. Even if your profile page looks blank, you may have comments older than the 1000 comment limit that still exist, as do any comments/posts made in subs that have gone private.
I went through and gilded a bunch of posts telling people how to move to tildes/fediverse/etc, or who pointed out major flaws in reddit’s positions.
Oh, I also unsubbed from all the subreddits I was in, didn’t want me included as part of an inflated subscriber count.
I didn’t think of that! The inflated subscriber count!
Reddit seems so clunky compared to Lemmy now. I used the official ap anyway so the whole 3rd party thing didn’t actually affect my direct experience. But obviously their actions affect us all.
Anyway, I like using lemmy straight on the mobile browser, just looks so much nicer among other things
