“Q3 was a strong quarter,” Huffman said on Thursday’s earnings call, in which he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet): “Reddit is in a unique position; we’re not trying to be the next anything. We’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information.”
If you wanna rise in the West, you better be evil.
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
Is he related to Aaron Swartz?
Edit: Peak documentary of his life (free) for those unfamiliar. 🥹
Important morals if you want to be “successful”: have no morals. And no self-respect either.
Morale is being happy. Morals are the
principalsprinciples of right and wrong.Principles.
Values opposing bad habits are vice principles.
Yes yes, corrected.
The same aaron schwartz that was a free speech absolutist?
That was 10 years before only Nazis used that term, but I take your point.
And all he had to do was fuck over everyone who helped him get there. His co-founder and users most of all
Peak US
And his narcissism is rewarded with extreme wealth and power.
Peak capitalism.
Ah, yes. The Steve Jobs model. Find someone with true talent, attach yourself to them like a lamprey, and slyly fuck them over at every turn until you are at the top with all the money.
The wrong founder died, unfortunately.
Died due to criminal prosecution for something Meta was able to get away with Scott-free.
God damn America.
Bleak.
But you’re not wrong. Motherfuckers.
Wait was he the guy that hosted all of those academic articles and was prosecuted for it, the killed himself?
He hooked his laptop up to school servers and was copying all the data on them.
(1) Swartz didn’t share the files. Maybe he would have but when he earlier slurped the legal library it was to provide an indexing capability.
(2) He wasn’t a founder of Reddit (but was an early developer).
The excellent documentary on him is online for free (watch it before it gets taken down): https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ
I didn’t say he shared the files. I linked to the documentary in the comment you replied to, but on PeerTube.
Fuck you /u/spez.
Or fuck /u/spez, for short
One of my three strikes for my perma was because I posted that on a bandwagon thread during the API exodus lol
May you wear it proudly
Spez was the mod of a pedo sub. He’s also a white supremacist piece of dogshit.
Fuck spez.
Not a single mention of Swartz in the article. Absolute scum
he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet)
That’s pretty funny coming from the CEO of a platform that was already overrun by low-effort bots even before AI slop became a thing…
Fucking parasite. I wish him nothing but the worst.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
For humans by humans
Could have fooled me
For bots, by bots
The moderator of r/jailbait?
That just means he fits in with the rest of them.
Hard to fit all those egos on Little Saint John.
Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn’t even know or decline the mod rights.
“Thanks for all the unpaid work mods!”
Lol he’d never thank the plebeians.
They can’t afford to pay so many mods! You’re crazy! /s
Now, if you’ll excuse him … he’s buying a new yacht.
The previous moderator r/jailbait is now a billionaire.
idk what jailbait is. And do not want to know lol.
Fuck Spez
Redditors: “Billionaires shouldn’t exist!”
Also redditors: Helps make latest billionaire…
