http://gizmodo.com/reddit-is-tearing-itself-apart-1789406294 http://gizmodo.com/reddit-is-tearing-itself-apart-1789406294 has a decent summary of the problems over the past few months. > Centipede Central is the chat Reddit is referring to—a chat room within the Slack-like Discord program ... its users have encouraged the harassment of other moderators, artificially inflated the vote count on posts, rigged off-Reddit polls, and posted John Podesta’s personal Netflix login information for the chat’s 1000+ members to use at will.

There are 300k+ subscribers to T_D I am one of those who have never even heard of that chat room, nor visited. And I am on T_D all day long every day since February. We have posts with 7k+ points and 56% upvoted. https://i.redditmedia.com/RbqqP0Cpfs-o-B1DVWIwIqtUU8-dtxUahf_uosOAKB0.png?w=848&s=d639846d2be5372531367f9a5e8073aa https://i.redditmedia.com/RbqqP0Cpfs-o-B1DVWIwIqtUU8-dtxUahf... If anyone is under attack, it is us. Even the famous Ellen Pao thinks Spez made a huge mistake and says "I would have immiediately fired anyone did that [edited user posts]" https://i.redditmedia.com/-VmuoYhuKv-Uj-Ild8_FAhGgQgXM68OsuN_E-DYOxyc.jpg?w=1024&s=826da08b70c7409958d08b2b70b1209f https://i.redditmedia.com/-VmuoYhuKv-Uj-Ild8_FAhGgQgXM68OsuN... /r/all is now a safe space for people who can't handle seeing certain text !! And the stupidest part is : Reddit is a commercial enterprise. 300k t_d subscribers. Instead of embracing a customer base and working out how to profit from it, he's pissed everybody off my repeatedly kicking the nest. Either directly or by letting CTR take over r/politics. They should have had a sales team focussing directly upon us and building an income stream. Instead they've generated a whole bunch of people who actively boycott buying Reddit Gold, will never click on your ads, even in other subreddits. What would you give for 300k high energy cross demographic customers with a tight focus on conservatism. I wouldn't be giving them annoyance and grief. "Front Page of the Internet" is the greatest joke of all
