What's the problem with CEO these days?
Everyone going crazy and not listening to users feedback. Best is how mozilla decided to remove firefox's compact mode support.
It's just so interesting to me how palpable the sense of anger was in those responses. Seem to just be super angry that people are making a big deal out of this rather than rolling over. I think the fact that Christian was able to catch him in a lie with the alleged "threat" is a super sore point.
Very much wondering if they go scorched earth over some of this stuff at some point, feels like something like that may be in the air.
I reckon they will start replacing mods on the multimillion subscriber subs with yes men and then they’ll reopen them if this goes on more than a few days.
mine is this balloon i got from dollar tree when i was having a bad day. did you know that you can just buy your own balloons for any reason or no reason?
I already do see a huge change. Fediverse just got a big influx of users and there is already a general message there that Reddit is not the only place that exists.
Reddit does not need to change and can continue existing as a shitty site keeping all the users. Believe me. You don't wan't Reddit to shut down or more users coming to Fediverse in a bulk, because that would take many instances down.
Even if the hardware was unlimited... for me things look here very good. I am completely fine with all the weirdos staying on Reddit keeping this place civil.
But in the end the question is what is your expectation.
If you want revolution and see downfall of reddit, that is not gonna happen. Probably.
If you are searching for a more reasonable place to chat with people, well you are here. Congrats :)
According to Reddit’s chief executive Steve Huffman, it’s become too costly to keep the API access free when the platform itself is struggling to make ends meet.
Right, struggling so hard they desperately need to squeeze $20 million dollars out of one guy by the end of the month. Reddit's about to be evicted from their garage, y'all, they only made $350 million in 2021
When asked about the blackmail allegations, Huffman said: Selig's "behavior and communications with us has been all over the place—saying one thing to us while saying something completely different externally; recording and leaking a private phone call—to the point where I don’t know how we could do business with him.”
Absolutely cannot believe this bitch. Spez is everyone's abusive ex, going full DARVO in the hopes no one actually looks into any of it. "How dare Christian publicly share a legal recording of me deliberately misrepresenting that call! I simply cannot trust someone who lies all the time!"
I never for a moment expected him to back down. He has too many people with too much money breathing down his pencil neck and his ego is paper thin. But he could at least go sit in the corner and experience human embarrassment for a minute
From what I've heard that Reddit is using the API to enable AI to train from Reddit content i don't see anything changing they know a lot will only stay dark for 2 days so I guess they're just waiting it out.
