“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.”

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.
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.
Not a single mention of Swartz in the article. Absolute scum
Fuck Spez
Fuck you /u/spez.
Or fuck /u/spez, for short
Spez was the mod of a pedo sub. He’s also a white supremacist piece of dogshit.
I’m more likely to find humans on grindr than Reddit at this point.
rip aaron swartz
Fuck reddit, fuck censorship, and fuck advertising.
Also fuck all the dumbasses that disagree.
this calls for a celebration
For humans by humans
Could have fooled me
Fucking parasite. I wish him nothing but the worst.
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. 🥹
The previous moderator r/jailbait is now a billionaire.
idk what jailbait is. And do not want to know lol.
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.
