The meltdown happening right now is surely a spectacle to watch on the side lines.
The free VC money to tech ran dry, as the interest rates began to rise over the past year or so. I wonder if Reddit is feeling the pain and they’re desperate enough to pull all this shit? Or are they trying to do an IPO before they run out of money and now try to push up any possible revenue, including the recent lay-offs?
In any case, keep the pop corns warm and close.

Jesus this guy just decided to throw the whole thing under a bus. How can someone be so clueless. It feels almost like a hijacked identity thing, like his whole presence online must be sabotage by now?? But no he’s just so goddamn dense.
I can’t believe I saw a meme that said, “Guess which community he moderated in 2008” And the answer was r/jailbait. I mean jesus christ! Now HE is the CEO, fuck that.
