    It’s not like one of the six biggest power janitors of Reddit has been caught multiple times wrongfully deleting posts, using bot armies to manipulate votes and accepting money from marketing agencies for “consultancy” in social media guerilla marketing.

    It’s almost like the company doesn’t give a fuck what their unpaid help does to the userbase or content because they still gets investments regardless.

    Fuck spez, fuck GallowBoob, fuck awkwardtheturtle and fuck Sam Altman.

      It’s amazing how quickly the admins came down on some subs after the trench titty drama broke. He was basically reddit’s MrBabyMan. And he’s probably not the only one.

        He was an angel investor and also onboarded a bunch of celebrity investors.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if they are trying to whitewash this, since it became a minor point of contention a few months ago

        Was also interim CEO for 8 days, to give you an idea of how involved he was. I’ll update with more info and sources later if I have time, otherwise Wayback Machine is your friend
