Remember when pigboy spez tried to say that the API pricing was, at least partially, because reddit still wasn’t turning a profit?

I wonder if paying some fucking moron who brings effectively no value to the company $193 million has anything to do with it…

Wow - really? Did you not read that he's the CEO?! They're the hardest working person in any company! They always deserve to be compensated more than every other freeloading employee combined!
