we will continue to be profit driven until profit arrives
that seems to be a lot less likely to happen now lol
What the hell do people expect? It's weeks before the frigging IPO. Of course they are going to do everything they can to post a profit. The users are not the customers. The users are the product. The investors are the customers! Dummies!
Yesh, like isn't premium, awards and a shit ton of ads not enough profit?
On one hand, he did say "ask me anything". Reading the thread, I realize he didn't actually say he'd answer anything.
Also, I love how the dishonest fuck that spez is wrote "Some third party apps decided the cost per user a month was too much" after app developers like Apollo's and Sync's both independently posted breakdowns of why the pricing structure was untenable. And it's after he was caught lying about reddit's conversations with the Apollo dev.
Glad this debacle has me invested in the fediverse future, at least.
That's why were all here. One ship sinks, we get on another. Totally avoidable if some sense of humility and foresight was applied, but that's not really the corporate way now is it.
He said "ask me anything" but he also outed himself using canned answers (one of his comments began with "A:" before he edited it), which probably means he wasn't really doing an AMA in good faith
This just further cements that it’s time for me to move on from Reddit
Seeing the mass downvotes makes me happy. I really hope this is the downfall of Reddit, I’m never going back.
Spez is such an asshole.
and rightly so imo… why waste the time to make hyperlinks of every minor nuance… “increased the ban notes character limit” xD ha!
I was very glad to see the community speak their minds though.
So many volunteers and still not profitable with gold and advertisement. Imagine being this incompetent.
Ironically, nowadays Reddit does less, worse and slower.
