we will continue to be profit driven until profit arrives
that seems to be a lot less likely to happen now lol
I will continue to run into this brick wall until the brick wall is no more
The beatings will continue until morale improves

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.

Yesh, like isn’t premium, awards and a shit ton of ads not enough profit?
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.
That’s why were all here. One ship sinks, we get on another. Totally avoidable if some sense of humility and foresight was applied, but that’s not really the corporate way now is it.
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
You should probably answer those Discord notifications lol
Nahhhhh if I answer them ill forget I got them :p
Bruh, how do you not get anxiety :D I have to clear those up instantly
The answer is living in constant fear of clearing my messages
Wait, nah, they got a point on that one. I’ll leave some select messages unread to remind me to do something later. Also to respond because I have the brain if a squirrel.
This is the content I came here for!
This just further cements that it’s time for me to move on from Reddit
Spez is such an asshole.
and rightly so imo… why waste the time to make hyperlinks of every minor nuance… “increased the ban notes character limit” xD ha!
I was very glad to see the community speak their minds though.
So many volunteers and still not profitable with gold and advertisement. Imagine being this incompetent.
Ironically, nowadays Reddit does less, worse and slower.
