Remember when Spez said it was “It’s time we grow up and behave like an adult company”? Apparently, that means paying himself $193 million and single-handedly tanking Reddit’s profitability right b…::undefined

So, with all these negative opinions of reddit and spez, I’m both curious what the business world generally thinks of him, and their plan for the business.
Ultimately, the interesting thing will be if investors will give any money when they IPO.
I personally wouldn’t, but because I don’t like the leaders. Some people don’t care, they just want returns where ever they come.
I’m a bit of a hater for this company, and hope their IPO is a flop. We’ll see.
Plenty of CEOs are psychopaths, it’s practically a requirement to rise to the top. The business world would see him as one of their own.
Makes you wonder which came first: the psychopathy or the CEO position. Could be an interesting study to be performed, for sure.
The psychopathy. This isn’t unique to CEOs, it applies to nearly anyone in a position of power since the dawn of time.
As they say, power corrupts. So, really we should ask what psychopathic tendencies the CEO had before and after his/her rise to power.
In business, I think it’s less that power corrupts. CEO positions aren’t being randomly handed to good people. The preexisting psychopathy, i.e. the ability to value money and profit over their fellow humans’ livelihoods, is exactly what makes them suited for that position.
The truth is he’s a jealous little turd of a person. The other reddit founders, the ones with brains and skills, got out early and got paid. Even the dead one was more successful. He wants to drain reddit of money while tanking it. He thinks he’s entitled. It’s a real shame he reproduced too, the poor kid is doomed with a godawful role model like that.
What more can you say about a man who lets cats with silicone implants have sex with him?
When I saw this news yesterday, it made me realize I hadn’t used Reddit almost at all since the purge last summer. I ran the PowerDelete tool last night to nuke my profile and then deleted my account this morning. 10 years of posts and comments gone but ill be damned if im going to let those posts stay and train AI to make this douche canoe any more money.
It’s sad, really. So much humanity just bought for a sum. So much offered with nothing expected in return. There’s always someone who will try to profit from stuff like that, and they’re always horrible, horrible people.
Such a succinct and well written comment, thanks.
