    I think this article makes reasonable sense. Also that quote from Spez is so disheartening. Glad I’m not on reddit anymore

      God, they even want to make leisure time into a side hustle. Is it so much to ask that they let me not think about my participation in capital for like, two hours?

        I’ve just invented a pillow that bombards your dreams with ads.

        For the user it is free, and it is literally the most comfortable pillow you will ever lay your head on

        It has a White noise generator, and a built-in fan so that it’s constantly the cool side of the pillow. It is exceedingly soft and yet surprisingly supportive but you will see ads every single moment of REM sleep for the rest of your life and once you’ve gotten used to using it if you stop using it you will never be able to fall asleep again.

        Currently Microsoft meta Amazon and Netflix are all in a bidding war to purchase this technology from me.

      Small correction - Steve Huffman is u/spez, he’s the current CEO. Alexis Ohanian was one of the co-founders and was on the board of directors for a while but I don’t think he’s involved with Reddit any more except probably as an investor.
