“Huffman characterized the Reddit protesters as a small but vocal cadre of angry users who are not in touch with the greater Reddit community.”

    I mean the company provided the platform, but “their” content it definitely isn’t. And i get that once a company reaches a certain level of fame the greed has to follow, but instead of all this bullshit they could’ve found a bunch of different way to monetize their platform including the 3rd parties, still make bank, become even bigger and stronger entity and have some decency and dignity in their approach. The thing is though that its exactly because it is a community based platform the things are where they are, reddit became too big for what it was and once there are so many people on it who are used to browse the Instas, facebook and tiktoks, where they have no say in the way the community is ran, they just apply the same sentiment to reddit and you get what we got, people who joined the communities in the last couple of years telling people who been there for a decade that this situation is a bs outrage culture fling and the mods and the company it self will for sure side with them because growth is exponential meaning that in the last year there were probably more new users than in the previous 5. Shame but will happen here too if things go the same way.
