• but I get the feeling spez is looking for attention/validation.

    Is he though? His last comment on Reddit as of this time was 10 months ago. I don’t think he really cares, if anything he’s being pressured to do it (and possibly doing begrudgingly) because he’s the more known “face” of reddit.

    E: I’m not defending spez, btw. What I mean is just that I think it’s likely he’s an unwilling participant in all this. Reddit is just a source of income for him, he doesn’t care what happens to it. He probably would rather be cruising on his yacht or whatever, than doing this AMA.
