I found it funny how Ars Technica (owned by Condé Nast) had some of the best reporting offering scathing criticism of Reddit (also owned by Condé Nast) while Steve Huffman was destroying the website by killing off the API and leaving volunteer moderators without the tools they need to deal with spam. I'm not sure how common this is, but it was refreshing to see journalists doing their job properly despite being faced with a massive conflict of interest.

The site seems to be as busy as normal and with the same opinions being expressed everywhere. Don't get me wrong, I think that was a huge loss and I don't use Reddit anymore as a result.

- creatonez 3y agoThere has been a dramatic rise in spam and hate speech, starting the day of the first moderator strikes. This hasn't gone unnoticed by the community, you see this observation being made by people all over the site.
