Reddit CEO Defends His Absurdly High Pay While Not Paying Mods
The funny thing is that Spez didn’t even come up with the idea of Reddit. Him and Ohanian showed up with some other dumb idea and Paul Graham was like, that’s stupid, try this idea of mine.
Then Spez put together some shitty code in Lisp of all languages, which Aaron Schwartz had to rewrite in Python. The site was so unstable that Spez slept with his laptop so he could reboot it in the middle of the night.
They used sock puppets because nobody was posting enough content. Then they cashed out and fucked off, leaving Aaron to rewrite it, and Erik Martin to actually make a proper community out of it.
Then Spez comes riding back into town over a decade later to claim credit while he fucks the whole site up by selling out.
Truly a masterclass in incompetent white male privilege.

The /r/help sub is full of people angry at the new Reddit UI
Silly geese - the redesign isn’t for the users, it’s for the investors, for the upcoming IPO. It’s like staging a house for sale. The point isn’t to make the house livable, it’s to make it desirable to buyers.

Bro went wild
The popular story is that, on Groucho's 1950s TV quiz show "You Bet Your Life," a female contestant said that the reason she had 22 kids was "because I love children, and I think that's our purpose here on earth, and I love my husband." To which Groucho supposedly replied: "I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while."
