    This fuckin’ guy is gonna burn it all down and somehow walk away with more money than I could earn in several lifetimes. There’s something intrinsically wrong with a system that so egregiously rewards such gross incompetence.

      Where is the incompetence? His competency is dependent on making money for a specific few.

      It has nothing to do with the outcome of the site, beyond how that outcome influences said making of money.

      If the shareholders cash out happy and the site dies out, he did his job, regardless of whether or not you think that’s fair.

      Yes, it sucks for the rest of us who liked Reddit. I am one of those people.

      Saying this guy is incompetent just because his interests go against the interests of people who use Reddit is ludicrous.

      The interests are in conflict, it sucks. That’s it. We have Lemmy. Get over it.

        You’re basically saying he’s not incompetent if he finds a new bag holder.

        I disagree. I think spez is trying his best. He isn’t simply trying to find a bag holder to dump reddit on.
