        How can they even do an IPO when the CEO is here saying the company isn’t even profitable after 15+ years?

            The thing is, people make the data, it should be THEIRS to sell. Reddit and all other websites should be paying for the data they steal from users. We create the data, we create the value, they take it for nothing and exploit it to make billions and become some of the wealthiest businesses in the world.

            The situation we have now is basically like a car manufacturer building a car but not paying the person who manufactures the screws.

    On one hand, he did say “ask me anything”. Reading the thread, I realize he didn’t actually say he’d answer anything.

    Also, I love how the dishonest fuck that spez is wrote “Some third party apps decided the cost per user a month was too much” after app developers like Apollo’s and Sync’s both independently posted breakdowns of why the pricing structure was untenable. And it’s after he was caught lying about reddit’s conversations with the Apollo dev.

    Glad this debacle has me invested in the fediverse future, at least.

      He said “ask me anything” but he also outed himself using canned answers (one of his comments began with “A:” before he edited it), which probably means he wasn’t really doing an AMA in good faith
