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
While I’ve been sad to lose a site I’ve used for over a decade, it has been pretty funny seeing Reddit corporate continually fumble. All they had to do was treat their users and mods like contributors instead of chattle and we wouldn’t be here.
All the stuff about growing up because the company is 18 is BEYOND ridiculous. Like people who disagree are childish.
“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.Lol, you have to love that last sentence.
“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.
Website ran by jackasses.
You know it’s bad when the Verge of all fucking places is now the accurately reporting one…
As I said somewhere else, we live in a fucking parody. Should’ve just shitcanned this whole thing when a reality TV star became the president…
I deleted my account a few days ago. I find myself having more time to do other things, like pay women for naked pictures. It’s been a real eye opener.
That last quote and response is beautiful.
Pretty soon they will start auto replying with the poop emoji
The Verge is really Nilaying into spez and his cronies huh
