We are an entire cultural shift away from rule following and shit giving, to a movement of non-compliant Boaty McBoat Faces who will happily bring the whole system down on top of ourselves.
Ya that’s why both the moderator teams mentioned in the article quietly relented and removed the NSFW designation and the situation on reddit is more or less back to normal.
This isn’t over by a long stretch, dude. There will be guerrilla shit going on for a long time. Mods who have returned are already half-assing their jobs, people are demanding pay, and the user base is fractured.
Plus, this isn’t the end of Reddit’s bullshit. They’ll keep pumping out more ads and making more unpopular changes. Name the last big company that ever said, “Okay, that’s enough money made. We can go back to good service and a reliable product now.”
I don’t like spez as much as the next guy but I don’t think this is true, as CEO of a pre IPO start up a significant part of his compensation would be equity/equity options etc so he probably cares a bit more than after the check clears
Spez is out of touch.
He’s forgotten what internet users are.

If only that was still true. Internet users used to be a niche counter-culture. Now they’re just normal people.
Normies have ruined our Internet! :(
We don’t even need a cause. We would literally bring this down for a meme.
We’d bring this down just because we already dropped 68 others and need one more to complete the set.

I doubt he really cares. this whole thing looks like “maintain a minimum viable product” until IPO.
he just wants to get paid, I cannot imagine he will care if reddit burns to the ground after the check clears.
