• Exactly, props to Ars and Sharon for giving mods a voice in this. Really wish more news sites would do this, all I see is articles where Spez gets to control the narrative and tell his view on things (mostly, how wrong mods and users are).

      • I like the part in every interview with u/spez where he says that the API was never intended to support third-party apps but then never mentions that the official Reddit app is based on the source code of a third-party app they purchased. His logic is impeccable.

    • The spez articles are gross, especially the interview on The Verge. He’s clearly salty at Christian Selig for building an app that iOS users prefer over the default reddit app. He rails against developers making millions on reddit’s content. But its not reddit making the content. Reddit is a content aggregator. Stop aggregating your content there. Stop consuming it there. Reddit dies without its power users.
