Reddit’s cofounder said that at first the company felt like ‘a homework assignment that got out of hand’ rather than a business::Reddit’s cofounder Steve Huffman said in its early days he filled up most of the site with content using different accounts until it got more users.
Im aware, but to be fair spez didn’t treat the people that made his content and/or modded his platform for free fairly. He betrayed their trust and destroyed their communities, all because he wanted ever mooooaaaar despite having more than most, a common diseased mindset these days. “GIMME ITS MINE” no matter the harm done to others.
My philosophy in life isn’t “treat others as you would have them treat you.” In our sick world, that makes you a mark, sadly.
My philosophy is: In a vacuum, not knowing who someone is, be kind. But once someone shows you who they are, treat others how they treat others.
Steve Huffman isn’t worthy of respect. He’s a greedy piece of shit.
I don’t disagree with any of that. I just want to make sure all the criticism is in good faith here, and I think the jailbait thing isn’t. I don’t think he was even working there or actively using that account at the time.
