“We absolutely must ship what we said we would” Yeah right, everything else they have promised never led to anything, but this, this we have to push through :p
„The only long-term solution is improving our product“ What I don’t get is in what way these changes are supposed to improve Reddit. Especially considering that how pissed off many volunteers that Reddit absolutely needs are. Such an unlikeable twat…

That’s just normal corpo-babble.
Companies always claim to put the customer first and the turn around and increase prices or monetize previously free features.
High-ranking corporate individuals really are so very out of touch with the situation on the ground, aren’t they? It’s insane they’re wording things as if it’s the people’s fault for simply not understanding they want more money or that they literally LIED about being blackmailed. It makes me sick.
oh my god his unbearable arrogance knows no bounds
nothing says “swag” like the reddit logo
Why would anyone want to be seen wearing Reddit swag after that whole shitshow? I would be embarassed to be working for them.
i couldn’t imagine being seen in public wearing reddit swag in general, much less after the API announcement
Are people really that angry? I mean I know we live in a crazy world, but this seems a bit much.
No, this loser has a persecution fetish, nothing more.
It feeds his narcissism to think people care that much offline.
No, I don’t think so. This is coming from the same guy who claimed that the Apollo dev tried to extort him for $10 million and threatened him, when the Apollo Dev had the phone call recorded and proved that he only offered to sell the company.
He’s feeling threatened and trying to make the users participating in the blackout look bad.No, but like saying the appolo dev is blackmailing them, spez is trying to twist the narrative
He even claims that around a thousand subreddits went dark. It was 8,000. Hundreds are already pledging to stay dark indefinitely, including huge ones like r/aww and r/videos.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see sockpuppet accounts starting / running some kind of “r/videosnew” and “r/awwnew” if they stay offline for a longer period of time
spez will probably just instate new puppet mods and forcefully reopen them.
Wow Stevey, that’s some, uhhhhh… spot-on prioritizing.
“We’re being persecuted!!! Violence!!! Give me sympathy!!! I’m not the bad buy here!!!” -Spez.
Very appropriate typo. He is indeed a bad buy as well as a bad guy.
Yeah, I saw the typo and laughed. What the heck, let it ride!
