    God I hate rooting for Reddit.

      Spez may still be a corporate sellout but at least in this instance he did the right thing, probably because he determined ratting out users who pirated wouldn’t make him money

        I’ll acknowledge he did the right thing here, but I won’t be happy about it.

          I’m sure that this was his legal team that reacted and fought back. He must have a top legal representation, they don’t sleep.

          But the API stuff, that’s full him, that’s his idea - fuck “I’m pretty sure, I’m a great leader” spez

        He didn’t do it for you, he didn’t do it for us. He did it for himself.

        If news got out that Reddit violated anonymity, the site would be dead before the end of the week. This was a move to protect his shareholders, nothing more.

      Could you elaborate on your response, as well as what the link in the comment you’re replying to is referencing.

      I know what ISOs are, I’m just wondering what the original comment is trying to tell us about and what you’re replying about. Thanks.
