Honestly you took the words right out of my mouth. I literally could not have said it better myself. I hate that man, and his company for what they did to one of my absolute favourite pieces of the Internet. Reddit will live in on history, because I sure as hell won’t go there anymore.
Reddit will keep making horrible decision after horrible decision, completing the process of enshitification, until they slowly piss off their remaining userbase one by one until they have nothing left and go the way of Digg. It’s gonna take a long time because people hate change, but they usually hate bullshit more than that and everyone has a breaking point.
Who I blame doesn’t matter. I just stopped using it. Spez doesn’t care that I’m gone. Neither does the board. I don’t like current reddit. But I’m under no illusion that they will to clamor to keep the users that want vpns and anonymous viewing.
A large group of data providers using the site is better for them than a huge group of content sharers.
Conspiracy theory: I think the whole Pao thing was a power play to make spez more powerful and played the userbase like a fiddle by doubling down on reddit’s built in misogyny and anti-authority/corporate bent at the time.

Don’t just blame Spez…that what the board wants you to strawman.
Blame the board as well

Ellen Pao
In hindsight, Pao wasn’t so bad after all.
