    I looooove watching reddit burn. Their CEO is so fucking incompetent but honestly, that’s part for the course. Most CEOs are fucking morons fueled by nepotism.

      Not just incompetent, but also just plain mean.
      After making an incompetent decision (super high api costs) he didn’t reassess the situation, he just started lashing out.

      First at the app devs, then at the mods, now at the users.

        The AMA was the real line in the sand where he ‘answered’ about 6 questions but mainly took the opportunity to slag off the Apollo Dev.

        That was where it was clear he had no interest in explaining the changes, talking people round but this was just his decision now please fuck off.

        I get the feeling he thinks he’s showing people he’s a tough man making tough decisions and coming out of this looking strong though…

          Classic narcissistic personality disorder if you ask me (which would be dumb because I’m not a psychologist but anyway…)

        Yeah, I won’t deny that even before joining here I’d be searching for the latest Reddit installment in the news… It’s the rubbernecker in all of us

        Anyone want some marshmallows? I brought extras. Anyone got spare sticks?

        I’m not sure if it is the bitterness over incompetent and greedy corporate leadership lingering from my dot bomb days, my deep seated hatred of unfairness, my disgust at corporations that chase profits at the expense of everything else, or my revulsion at CEOs that lie and defame but even if Reddit did a total 180 at this point I would tell them to fuck off purely out of spite. I can’t wait to short their stock. Again: because spite.
