“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.”

Guys wouldn’t it be funny if Luigi had a brother named Mario?
cough
A distant cousin Lemmio just stares blankly at the family affairs, feeling in danger :).
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 morale if you want to be “successful”: have no morales. And no self-respect either.
Morale is being happy. Morals are the principals of right and wrong.
Principles.
Values opposing bad habits are vice principles.
Yes yes, corrected.
The same aaron schwartz that was a free speech absolutist?
That was 10 years before only Nazis used that term, but I take your point.

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.
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.
Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn’t even know or decline the mod rights.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
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
For humans by humans
Could have fooled me
For bots, by bots
Fucking parasite. I wish him nothing but the worst.
From a company that was constantly in the reds?

Im convinced he killed the other cofounder, never a suicide
The US government did that via a guy who wanted a promotion at the DOJ.
Convinced by what evidence?
If you expect me to be the first conspiracy theorist to provide actual evidence you are out of your mind
“Reddit’s CEO Debuts As A Billionaire”
That’s not evidence. That’s just making stuff up to fit a narrative of your choosing.
I’m no fan of billionaires either, but they do plenty of evil without us having to just make shit up. That only serves to dilute your (our) credibility.
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.
Fuck spez.
this calls for a celebration
Fuck reddit and it’s CEO.
rip aaron swartz
