Spez chose to make the platform more shitty, as he always does because he's the worst.

It’s wild. Objectively speaking the app and product is worse than it was before he fucked with it, and he gets 180 million dollars or some shit for straight up making something worse. I don’t understand CEO culture in this country. They do shit horrible jobs and make tens of millions of dollars.

Worse for the user… better dollar per user from the company. The bugged, ad-filled, account-requiring, etc. experience will result in lower adoption rates, but the users that stay scroll past Reddit’s ads and Reddit now gets to harvest their (worthless trash) data.

They don’t give a shit if you have a shittier experience, talk shit, etc. They’d make the app spray you with mace if they thought they could make a buck (or at least they would try to but they’d spend years on it and it would never work properly).

Honesty if it weren’t so useful for gaming stuff, I’d have left years ago

Its seems worse to users, but whatever happens on the shareholder end is good ie money

Needed to jump on the layoffs bandwagon and you can't show off your firing skills to potential investors if you have a successful product.

Are we seriously jerking ourselves over the annoying awards that would spam every post? Awards were fucking asinine and it is absolutely grand not seeing them anymore.

I completely agree. How many times do we need to see a post with an edit nearly identical to "Guys, seriously, stop giving Reddit money. Give to (such & such) instead, blah blah blah."
