If it did have a different CEO tomorrow, it would due to recognition by investors that the guy had done an absolutely shit-tastic job of handling this - so yes, something would have changed.
end goal would be the same
the journey would be the same
the messaging would be the only thing to change.
I don’t see why. They could - for example - have injected adverts into the API feed and made it a licensing condition that adverts were displayed inline in mobile clients.
but it's still a CEO, so they'd still primarily think in terms of profit; either way the enshittening of Reddit wouldn't be averted at all
The reddit CEO caring about money would actually be a step up. They would realize that the content is what keeps people on the site, and that free labor provided by community mods actually saves them tons of money.
This dude is just a Musk wannabe.
That's predicated on the simple, compelling - and I think wrong - belief that all for-profit organisations are equally shitty.
Agreed! You can make money and not be a donkey poop about it.
Just like facebook! amirite? no. No I'm not.
