Huffman said he saw Musk’s handling of Twitter, which he purchased last year, as an example for Reddit to follow.
The writing is on the wall. Those who are staying on Reddit despite everything u/spez said recently are literally asking to be shit on and will fully deserve it.

Imagine looking at the chaos of Twitter and thinking “wow, that’s a great idea. I need to do the same”
Twitter is seeing declines in usage and has quickly fallen from its position of having an outsized place in the social conversation to a position of being a train wreck everyone is enjoying watching.
Imagine thinking that, then saying that out loud before an IPO.
Actual quote from u/spez leading up to the IPO: “we are not profitable"
Well, he has to disclose that anyway before the IPO so w/e, think he’s trying to have two profitable months before the IPO and then it implodes
Even if he actually thought that, why the fuck would you say that right now when a large amount of your community is revolting against you? Comments like these are only further destabilizing a bad situation. If I was on the board, and even if I fully supported the changes, I would have him removed for adding more fuel to the fire.
with him at the helm i’ll never use reddit again. even if apollo made a deal to use the api I wouldn’t go near reddit until there is a change of leadership. It’s a democracy with a dictator at the helm.
Agreed, just need an app like Apollo now
