Screenshot included so you do not have to browse to it. Literally. I’m not even joking. The entire subreddit is 2 days old (founded immediately after the AMA) and populated+moderated exclusively by accounts less than 6 months old following standard generic name schemes and posting comments that reek of chatGPT generated responses.
This is the most hilarious, saddest, most obviously transparent attempt at propaganda astroturfing I have ever seen.
Spez. Get a bloody life, my dude.
I just looked at their pinned post and it’s 100% satire and I’d you think otherwise you’ve never been on satire sub before
What’s Not True
-
Mr. Huffman has never lied or been dishonest. He has been 100% forward throughout this whole process.
-
That apps “can’t afford” to pay the reasonable fees Mr. Huffman is requesting. Many of them are embroiled in inefficiency, and even the highest cited api costs on their part have still been well within reason.
-
Mr. Huffman’s actions won’t “kill” reddit. In fact, the changes he id making are necessary to ensure that reddit continues to thrive.
For all these reasons and many more, we at /r/FriendsofSpez #standwithhuffman, and you should too!

Obvious satire, and pretty funny as well
Not sure if you’re unaware it is obvious parody or if you’re being “meta” or whatever
ah, no. Read some of the comments in the sub, I tried talking to a few, they are very much not parody.
What a way to discover you don’t get satire - but that might be more common than we think.
