This seems like it was developed as a joke. Not what I'm looking for in a data-oriented forum.
He's a founder who already cashed out years ago—before being brought back to give the money people a credible figurehead.
Huffman is just an empty suit. His purpose is to take the flak for all the unpopular changes that the money people want him to make.
He'll probably be gone within 2 years, get a nice payday, and never have to work again.
Focusing your ire on Huffman specifically plays right into Reddit's hands. And spamming "fuck u/spez" everywhere just makes those of us who oppose the direction that Reddit has taken look like petulant children to neutral observers.
I'm sure it has been a profitable move in the short term, but I think password sharing was what enabled Netflix shows to have a more significant cultural impact than shows on other streaming services—despite the relatively poor quality of Netflix's programming.
This article is such garbage clickbait, but of course the Lemmy audience eats it up because it validates their anti-facebook circlejerk.
It's the tell-tale collective incompetence inherent to bloated corporations.
It seems like a more extreme version of the weird elitism around social media that was always present on Reddit.
I guess they just really don't understand why reddit was worth visiting in the first place.
People who use Twitter have been desperate for an alternative. Surprised it took one of the big corps this long to throw their hat in the ring, tbh.
Hadn't heard about this—pretty disturbing, to be honest.
Crazy to see how quickly a handful of talented developers have managed to build several feature-rich Lemmy apps in such a short amount of time. Really drives home the point that the reddit's official app—with it's 80 person dev team—must just suck on purpose.
it's not the onion, but it is the post—which should be treated with equal seriousness as the onion.
