There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

What’s really baffling to me is that a bunch of nerds with too much free time on their hands basically stomped out a fully fledged Reddit alternative within a few months, including multiple frontends and apps.

Yet Reddit spends millions on development every year, for no discernable improvement whatsoever, while still turning no profit.

Where is all that money going? Seriously, Reddit is a very simple site. There’s nothing that hard about it. The amount of data is tiny, since the content is external, none of the resources are that time critical, a lot of content can be cached.

What are the devs doing all day?

I love that I don’t care about Reddit news anymore. “Spez made a new sub you have to suck his dick to join.” Don’t care. Haven’t in a long time.

Come to Lemmy for the hatred of Spez’s actionsStay for the certainty he’ll do it again

There was a while there where people were constantly coming to Lemmy to talk about reddit and I just… couldn’t give a fuck.

I feel like it might be an age thing. Those of us on the internet since the 90s are somewhat used to being digital nomads.

This is just the latest in a long string. Spez has demonstrated repeatedly throughout the years that he’s an entitled cretin - equal parts smug and ignorant.

My personal favorite was when he snidely commented on Reddit’s unprofitability in his AMA after the API debacle, making it sound as if it was somehow our fault, only to then not only have it made common knowledge that the official app was useless garbage and had been for years, but that the entirety of Reddit’s loss for the year was just about exactly equal to his salary alone.
