Disappointed that NPR didn’t elaborate more on how Huffman truly fucked over Christian Selig.

    That line stuck out at me. It’s bizarrely out of touch. What does Reddit actually produce itself? A shit-tier website (new) and an even shittier-tier app? Everything of value on the site was made by volunteers.

    I guess this is the danger of being openly helpful on the internet. At any time your generosity could be snatched and monetized without even so much as a “fuck you, thank me”

      Been reading Noam Chomsky, and the theme of democratic movements being quelled, one might say mysteriously, is a common global theme. Reddit was that social democracy for a time.

        No, it wasn’t.

        It is, and has always been, a feudal monarchy, if you want to define it’s political structure.

        You and I are the peasants, above us are the moderators acting on behalf of the local Lord Subreddit Owner, which serve at the whim of The Monarchs of the corporation, with His Majesty the CEO only being rained in sliiiiightly by the clerics of the venture capital Church.

        Please elaborate on how you see this in any way as a social democracy.
