Reddit’s CEO said that when he returned in 2015, he had to remind employees to work hard.

There’s a tendency in the US tech industry to place idealism above hard work, he said.
Maybe people should go back to “not working very hard” because Reddit has spiraled into a shit hole ever since it’s users became ad revenue generators.
Fuck Steve Huffman, fuck Reddit, Nazi sympathizing shithole website.
Ah yes, Steve showing his true colors.
“Forget moral convictions or a greater purpose than self enrichment. Reddit is public now baby, this thing makes money, not societal progress!”
And in the vacuum, Lemmy rises up.
Was that the same idealism that led to the jailbait and creepshot subreddits being allowed to flourish? Or Covid misinfo? Deepfakes? The chimpire? Qanon? All that stuff definitely wasn’t operating clandestinely.
Reddit died with Aaron Schwartz
I shadow banned everyone except bots and now my company sucks but NobOdY WaNts To WOrK ANYmOre
They just outright ban people now. Been a Reddit user with zero problems for well over a decade, like 13 years, I’m now banned completely for upvoting Luigi content and saying I was surprised Kanye hadn’t murder/suicided Kim or Taylor yet which is apparently promoting violence. They’re really going out of their way to purge users.
I went to see if this made it to reddit.
0 points for guessing the result.
Fuckin’ wannabe Muskrat.
Idealistic people work harder than anyone—for idealistic causes.
They don’t work so hard for companies that betray their idealism.
I was idealistic at my current place. Then my manager and another key person left, and it all went out the window. Even when they were here, I was still more idealistic than was realistic. But my manager helped channel that.
Now I feel betrayed and sidelined and stifled. Disillusioned. Totally unnecessary too.
If I have ajob, I’m not going to jump through my asshole just to enrich some Sand Hill Road greedhead unless there’s something substantial in it for me.
Former mod of /r/jailbait says what?
It’s always funny seeing these silicon valley startups have essentially zero retained employees and engineers except the CEO.
All money machines built on the backs of long gone engineers that only exist because they’ve cornered their share of the oligopoly market.
THEY FINally decided to get rid of most tech employees in 2023
Fuck off bunker boy.
He’s basically admitting that now that he’s wholly a sellout, he’s making more money. La-de-la, tell me more.
Translation - the employees weren’t getting abused until I came back and reminded them why I’m back
Has this guy got his Texas harem started yet? Seems like he’s speed running the Musk Meltdown playbook.
Was going to say that. Reddit has become a Nazi heaven and center of Zionism. Never thought I had to put these two word together. Now here we are.
reddit is mostly managed by AI filters.
I might buy ONE(1) share of reddit and ask for it to be directly registered to a stock certificate so I can someday point to it and say “I personally ate a piece of its corpse” out of
