Great quote from the tail end:
> “While we're obviously aware that Reddit is a for-profit company, the recent weeks have made it very clear that Reddit is not a website that allows people to host communities for its members, but rather a company that allows people to maintain communities for them and for their profit," a r/JustNoMil moderator wrote.
- kelipso 3y agoThe idea of these people expecting for profit companies to not be ruthlessly profit driven is hilarious.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoSpez even said this - they're very profit hungry because they're not profitable. Remember those cool projects that Google did at their height? That's what profitability looks like. Reddit is hungry and has been for a long time.
- unsui 3y agoyeah, it's a ridiculous idea that a company that has repeatedly stated in the past that its focus is on the community and 3rd-party app outreach would renege on its mission to foster and support the communities that made it a place with any value whatsoever. ridiculous
- kelipso 3y agoPeople talking about how the snake oil salesman was so convincing and believable is still hilarious.
- kevincox 3y agoTreating your users well can be very good for long-term profits. The problem is that Reddit is looking to squeeze them short term for a good IPO.
