    Calling your employees “Snoos” is the cringiest shit.

    Referring to his employees as “snoos” really fucking rubs me the wrong way

      if my boss called me a cute pet name, I’d fucking quit on the spot

      bosses who like to act overly familiar and pretend that we are not in a contract where I am only doing labor for them to get paid are scary tbh; the “we’re one big family” act always has an implied “and I can disown you for literally any reason, especially if it’s convenient for me”

      It’s almost as bad as “tweeps” for Twitter employees.

    We must ship what we said Disgusting, good thing I’m never coming back reddit. This is just the beginning of a long list of bad decisions, no wonder why Reddit is no longer profitable.

    “stay focused, adapt to challenges, and keep moving forward”

    No surprise that Spez speaks fluent corporate. Fuck this guy, and fuck reddit.

    I don’t think he’s wrong tbh. Normies don’t give a shit about piss poor app design and being inundated with ads.

    Such arrogance on Reddit’s part, with no concern for their longterm users who have been fed up with Reddits deterioration for a while.

    Improve their product doesn’t matter, to me at least. I’m not watching more ads.

    At this point, I’m not going back out of pure spite.

      That would be reason enough. but the main reason I’m not is that I know this will turn reddit into 4chan. No good mods = racist trolls take over, they drive away decent users, content becomes almost exclusively shitposts and endlessly recycled memes. Consider how bad it is now and think of how much worse it will be once the good mods and content posters leave.

    I know people are pissed about this, but what is a CEO supposed to say?

      Admit they dropped the ball when it came to decision making and let employees know they are taking care of their cash cow (power users, content creators, and mods).

        Are Reddit power users actually their cash cow though?

          The people who spend money on awards are.

          I can imagine there being at least a few power users that award regularly. Wasn’t there an award you could give out for $100 or something?
