“Q3 was a strong quarter,” Huffman said on Thursday’s earnings call, in which he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet): “Reddit is in a unique position; we’re not trying to be the next anything. We’re focused on being the best version of ourselves and what the internet needs most: a place where people can connect on almost any topic and find genuinely useful information.”
If you wanna rise in the West, you better be evil.
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
Is he related to Aaron Swartz?
Edit: Peak documentary of his life (free) for those unfamiliar. 🥹
Important morals if you want to be “successful”: have no morals. And no self-respect either.
Morale is being happy. Morals are the
principalsprinciples of right and wrong.Principles.
Values opposing bad habits are vice principles.
Yes yes, corrected.
And all he had to do was fuck over everyone who helped him get there. His co-founder and users most of all
Peak US
And his narcissism is rewarded with extreme wealth and power.
Peak capitalism.
Ah, yes. The Steve Jobs model. Find someone with true talent, attach yourself to them like a lamprey, and slyly fuck them over at every turn until you are at the top with all the money.
The wrong founder died, unfortunately.
Fuck you /u/spez.
Or fuck /u/spez, for short
One of my three strikes for my perma was because I posted that on a bandwagon thread during the API exodus lol
May you wear it proudly
Spez was the mod of a pedo sub. He’s also a white supremacist piece of dogshit.

That’s pretty funny coming from the CEO of a platform that was already overrun by low-effort bots even before AI slop became a thing…
not to mention whose recent valuations have basically been about selling their data to train models which will be used to make AI slop
Yep. Shutting down the API was 100% because they were angry they got scraped and didn’t get money.
Not a single mention of Swartz in the article. Absolute scum
Fucking parasite. I wish him nothing but the worst.
The moderator of r/jailbait?
That just means he fits in with the rest of them.
Hard to fit all those egos on Little Saint John.
“Thanks for all the unpaid work mods!”
Lol he’d never thank the plebeians.
The previous moderator r/jailbait is now a billionaire.
idk what jailbait is. And do not want to know lol.
I put what little I know about it inside a spoiler tag

It used to be a subreddit related to… very young girls? My understanding is it means by taking the bait (=using the subreddit) you risk going to jail. So essentially a place catering to pedophiles. I think the sub disappeared before I even discovered Reddit, so I don’t know exactly if users were posting pictures or something else
Just to note, at the time anyone could be made a moderator without their approval, so that alone is not demonstrating his support for that subreddit.
Allowing it to continue was his implicit support of it. He was well aware of what they were doing, and only acted when it became a PR issue.
Fuck reddit, fuck censorship, and fuck advertising.
Also fuck all the dumbasses that disagree.
Redditors: “Billionaires shouldn’t exist!”
Also redditors: Helps make latest billionaire…
Fuck you, Spaz.
Greedy little pig boy
