A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, he is doing everything that contradict what he said or set out to do just to make quick bucks and maybe so that he can pull the CEO->CEO->CEO route like many past CEOs after successfully IPO reddit. If that ever happens, what happen to reddit is no longer his concern, that's why he didn't give anything a fuck to achieve that goal.
IMO, reddit have 4 main components:
Any user can be a combination of above when they visit different parts of the reddit, but what spez pissed off most are the "mods/active" aligned users. (if I category my reddit profile, I am like 0.5% creator, 29.5% active, 70% passive. )
Simply put, reddit won't survive with just creator and passive consumer, the community like features(asking questions/sharing tips) are essential for a sub to survive. It's not going to implode and snap away, just slowly become a bot create/bot comment/bot mod/bot upvotes farm.
