@arstechnica If the API fiasco last year proves anything, it’s that Reddit absolutely will not listen to its users, only its shareholders.

That’s the reason why I deleted my Reddit account. Fuck u/spez.

@arstechnica I won't be surprised if the porn subreddits are axed within a year. Get your popcorn ready for the meltdown.

@arstechnica but which ones are more racist?

@arstechnica

Between turning their back on the real genius behind Reddit, requiring their app to herd the crowds into a theatre of ads, and the CEO’s arrogance, I wiped my account and never logged in again. But also…

While it might give weight, karma and doesn’t necessarily validate the messenger. Offering a different view should be a request for further discussion, but seemed to be asking to be brutalized.

A vehicle can be used to run over anybody - or carry them. It’s a driver’s choice.

@arstechnica This implies Reddit still listens to users, when the API apocalypse last year clearly shows they don't want to.

@arstechnica Lemur Boy doesn't listen to anyone else BUT the shareholders.
