If he didn't say anything, this might very well have blown over.
Instead he's inciting people to leave.
Huffman, also a Reddit co-founder, said he plans to pursue changes to Reddit’s moderator removal policy to allow ordinary users to vote moderators out more easily if their decisions aren’t popular.
We'll see how that goes. I can hear the foundry churning out the AI bots to outnumber the human users.
He said the new system would be more democratic and allow a wider set of people to hold moderators accountable.
"reddit tikTok crowd" This is my distillation of what's going on too. They know what they are doing. They don't care. They will be fine. They are just changing their target audience and getting rid of the long-form text(!!!) boomers. :)
Narcissistic tendencies? He's mad that he is getting a bad rep, so he antagonizes even more those that are criticizing him instead of doing what any other sensible person would do (keep quiet and let the storm pass). I doubt he listens to anyone around him, PR team after the AMA would have told him to keep his mouth shut.
R/apple has already caved. They should’ve stuck it out and then all get removed and come here. Now they just look like a bunch of yes men who want to cling on to power in the sub.
Yeah really. But, I'm sure he's surrounded by people -- investors, other CEOs who love the precedent of exploiting their volunteers, probably most if not all Reddit high-level staff -- encouraging him and telling him it's going well. Back in the 1990s Microsoft was known as being in a reality distortion field and I've seen similar things happen at other companies as well.
