Finally, an article where the Mods get to speak. I’m sick of seeing articles that are full of Spez lies.
The spez articles are gross, especially the interview on The Verge. He’s clearly salty at Christian Selig for building an app that iOS users prefer over the default reddit app. He rails against developers making millions on reddit’s content. But its not reddit making the content. Reddit is a content aggregator. Stop aggregating your content there. Stop consuming it there. Reddit dies without its power users.
I may be biased after sticking around there for a decade, but who in the hell would ever trust Reddit?
Great writeup about the situation, and wonderful to hear actual mods speak. The requests the community is making are very reasonable. But Spez thinks they’re too big to fail.
The only way to prove him wrong is to stay away. In the meantime I’ve joined Beehaw, subscribed to a couple instances outside of Beehaw, and get my news primarily from the websites that I was otherwise seeing being linked to on Reddit.
