He's basically admitting that now that he's wholly a sellout, he's making more money. La-de-la, tell me more.

reddit is mostly managed by AI filters.

It's frustrating that rich scumbags just get to live a rich life. Where's the justice in that? Saint Luigi deliver us from assholes like Huffman.

place idealism above hard work

To translate from rich asshole, this means act ethically instead of do what I say.

[–] tunetardis@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Well I guess he's effected some change there in that he's got me working hard to avoid reddit.

Like the CEO? I'm sure he barely pretends to work.

[–] oakey66@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have a gut feeling that if looked for, a downward trend in the in the quality of reddit starts when he came back.
