How about he puts the API changes to a "democratic vote", some how I doubt it loves that kind of democracy.. He like many others only likes democracy when he can control it.
- IMTDb 3y agoYes, because any decision regarding community management tools need to also apply to business models, these two things being so similar and probably have the same impact for the long term viability of the company. Next time any company does a poll on Facebook for the name of their next product, we should impose that they also decide the amount of employees they should hire / fire through the same channel.
- phpisthebest 3y agoYour sarcasm is not warranted, or needed... You clearly did not read the story [1] >>“I would like subreddits to be able to be businesses if they choose,” he said >>“If you’re a politician or a business owner, you are accountable to your constituents. So a politician needs to be elected, and a business owner can be fired by its shareholders,” he said. >>“And I think, on Reddit, the analogy is closer to the landed gentry: The people who get there first get to stay there and pass it down to their descendants, and that is not democratic.” So clearly is thinks running a business (which is considers subreddits to be buisnesses) in a democratic way is grand.
