Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.
The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.
Imagine looking at the chaos of Twitter and thinking “wow, that’s a great idea. I need to do the same”
Twitter is seeing declines in usage and has quickly fallen from its position of having an outsized place in the social conversation to a position of being a train wreck everyone is enjoying watching.
Imagine thinking that, then saying that out loud before an IPO.
Actual quote from u/spez leading up to the IPO: “we are not profitable"
One authoritarian agreeing with another.
He’s realized that glomming onto Elmo is the only way he’s going to get friends who can help.
Of course he thinks Elon is doing a good job…
My personal thoughts are that anyone who thinks highly of what Elon Musk has done to Twitter is highly suspect and probably best avoided.
He’s just trolling us and speedrunning the PR meltdown category at this point, isn’t he?
Fuck this moron.
Reddit Premium users will have a blue checkmark, coming soon! And for a new low low price of $8/mo
with him at the helm i’ll never use reddit again. even if apollo made a deal to use the api I wouldn’t go near reddit until there is a change of leadership. It’s a democracy with a dictator at the helm.
Agreed, just need an app like Apollo now
He has learned that you can do whatever the fuck you want to a platform that’s hit critical mass
The CEO of a company that burned a ton of goodwill in a record amount of time praises the CEO of another company who did about the same 🤷♂️
Imagine. My. Surprise.
Can’t make this shit up
oh, fuck that guy
How long now until reddit stops paying rent, gets evicted, and fires all their employees because they get told to work in an office they were evicted from and you can’t work from home?
And there it is lol. I don’t think it’s too surprising that one person who was weak-minded and spineless, would echo the actions and sentiments of another person who was also weak-minded and spineless.
