A toilet is useful.

Why would I download a concert filled Porta-potty?

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.

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.

We’ve seen empires burn to the ground so many times before.

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.

Kaavi ,

I’m glad you have not sucked his dick in a long time 🥳

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?

The confusion for me was that when I stomp something out, it dies. That’s not the intended verb here, but context clues alone do not a language make.

Where exactly do you think you’re writing this?

If they had just done the obvious thing and made ad-free 3rd party API access depend on a subscription fee, then I would have just paid it and wouldn’t be here. But no, they have to do everything the worst way possible.

Arbiter ,

This really goes to show he has no clue how to monetize Reddit.

Good, bury reddit.

Wasn’t there always a pay-walled subreddit, made by the community? I think you had to have had gold/premium to get invited.
