What Reddit fails to understand with their decades of industry experience and 2k employees is that without their users, they don't have a product. Moderators work for free. Creators work for free. These people didn't do it for Reddit. They did it for you and me.
And then like three developers in their spare time ate their lunch.
And they would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for spez being an open raging asshole.
Did spez create reddit or did they just hire him?
He's one of the founders of Reddit. The other two being Aaron Swartz and Alexis Ohanian.
Are Swartz and Ohanian still around? Are they all trying to cash in?
I can understand wanting to get retirement money out of your long-term project, but we're not obliged to stick around and assist in the degradation of a once-great platform.
Swartz unfortunately died in 2013.
