    It’s amazing how inept spez has proven to be, and that’s after most people had developed a pretty negative opinion of him. The CEO of a community-driven company really cannot be an anti-social megalomaniac and have the company survive.

      Is behavior is crazy and dumb. He could lie about not thinking it’s unreasonable but accusing Christian of blackmail has just fueled this fire

      eh unfortunately I think he’ll be fine and so will reddit. The public has a tendency to forget these things pretty quick. Hasbro did things just a few short months ago many would have thought unthinkable or the end of them. But people just forgot and moved on.

        Yeah, probably, like no one really left twitter but things like Digg did happen.

        Maybe people will forget what happens this time, maybe not, but what is known is they will try to milk every little bit of the website to make money since they have to show investors they can make money. We will see more changes for the worse.

        Really interesting to see what will happen in the next few months.

        It they had just kept their mouths shut and taken their lumps, it would have blown over by now.

        But the ego on Spez is apparently incapable of tolerating the fact that someone on the internet might disagree with him, so he keeps doubling down and making everything exponentially worse. To the point where people like me, who couldn’t give two bits about 3rd party Reddit apps or API or pricing, are so disgusted by their behavior that they look for alternatives.
