MODERATORS
I’m more likely to find humans on grindr than Reddit at this point.
rip aaron swartz
Fuck Spez
Worst coming out ever.
Fuck reddit and it's CEO.
Not a single mention of Swartz in the article. Absolute scum
he lauded Reddit as being “for humans by humans” and seemed to take a subtle dig at AI slop (the low-quality AI content clogging corners of the internet)
That's pretty funny coming from the CEO of a platform that was already overrun by low-effort bots even before AI slop became a thing...
not to mention whose recent valuations have basically been about selling their data to train models which will be used to make AI slop
Yep. Shutting down the API was 100% because they were angry they got scraped and didn't get money.
And all he had to do was fuck over everyone who helped him get there. His co-founder and users most of all
Peak US
And his narcissism is rewarded with extreme wealth and power.
Peak capitalism.
Ah, yes. The Steve Jobs model. Find someone with true talent, attach yourself to them like a lamprey, and slyly fuck them over at every turn until you are at the top with all the money.
The wrong founder died, unfortunately.
Died due to criminal prosecution for something Meta was able to get away with Scott-free.
God damn America.
It’s scot free tbh. A scot is a tax or fine
Thank you for not being dishonest about that.
Bleak.
But you're not wrong. Motherfuckers.
Wait was he the guy that hosted all of those academic articles and was prosecuted for it, the killed himself?
He hooked his laptop up to school servers and was copying all the data on them.
(1) Swartz didn't share the files. Maybe he would have but when he earlier slurped the legal library it was to provide an indexing capability.
(2) He wasn't a founder of Reddit (but was an early developer).
The excellent documentary on him is online for free (watch it before it gets taken down): https://youtu.be/9vz06QO3UkQ

Aaron wasn’t a founder. He came on 6-12 months after spaz brought reddit to market
If you wanna rise in the West, you better be evil.
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏
Is he related to Aaron Swartz?
Edit: Peak documentary of his life (free) for those unfamiliar. 🥹

Spez was the mod of a pedo sub. He's also a white supremacist piece of dogshit.
Fuck spez.
Success doesn't ring at your door by chance. First you have to demonstrate how horrible you are and how you can contribute to make humanity worse.
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
The moderator of r/jailbait?
Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn't even know or decline the mod rights.
Fucking parasite. I wish him nothing but the worst.
"Thanks for all the unpaid work mods!"
Lol he'd never thank the plebeians.
They can't afford to pay so many mods! You're crazy! /s
Now, if you'll excuse him ... he's buying a new yacht.

For humans by humans
Could have fooled me
For bots, by bots
Spez ist ein Hurensohn

Ooh a debutante. Does he get a fancy dress and a coming out party? How exactly do you get jumped into that club?
Redditors: "Billionaires shouldn't exist!"
Also redditors: Helps make latest billionaire...
Fuck reddit, fuck censorship, and fuck advertising.
Also fuck all the dumbasses that disagree.
Fuck you, Spaz.
Greedy little pig boy
A billion rubles? The company has been allowing outside actors to manipulate the platform since at least 2016. No way they let them do that for free.
