A conspiratorial part of me almost wonders if he isnt sabotaging the site before it’s sold off to the highest bidder. Cause an outrage that reseeds the smaller message board style sphere of the internet and then as the sale comes about toss the match over his shoulder and watch the whole thing burn down. He’s been on reddit long enough it’s kind of crazy to think that he’s this out of touch with the way redditors are. Like the AMA for example. He could have just put out an announcement clarifying things and it would have been received poorly, but it wouldnt have gotten as much heat as the AMA did.

Of course probably not. He probably is just a screwup, but its a nice little conspiracy theory.
