Reddit didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. According to Reddit spokesperson Tim Rathschmidt, “We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.” In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary.

I think The Verge hit a nerve

    “Hey Reddit, your unpaid employees are saying you said this thing, with screenshots and emails to back up their claims. Do you want to comment on this?”

    “IT’S HEARSAY! UNSUBSTANTIATED! BASELESS! FAKE NEWS! ALTERNATIVE FACTS! WE’LL BE IN TOUCH TO MAKE CORRECTIONS IF ANY ARE NEEDED!”

    “So are any corrections needed to this story?”

    “…no.”

      Nope, perfectly accurate.

      Users are also allowed to protest and voice their concerns but we might just ban them for it so not really.
