Despite the protests, Reddit's Huffman has persisted in arguing that Reddit is "a living organism, this democratic living organism, created by its users."

No way can a democratic society last under a corporatocracy which, by default, is essentially a dictatorship. And corporatocracy is exactly what Huffman is pushing.

Y’know, it’s highly hypocritical that the article mentions the reason for the API shutoff is to force users to pay for the content while redditcorp doesn’t pay for the content users generate that reddit wants those same users to pay to access.

A 'democratic organism' where puppet mods are installed because the 'democratically' supported ones won't toll the company line. Uh-huh. Sure, Steve.
