Yeah I don't think mods and "power users" that stayed after last year are necessarily against reddit succeeding, just not willing to buy in at a 6.5bil valuation for a company that can't turn a profit and lost 90+ mil last year and 700+ cumulative. The CEO got 193 mil last year it's clear where their priorities are. And after the bad will they gained last year burning mods and third party apps it's not a big surprise many are watching with a big ol' bucket of popcorn.

They kicked myself and my entire mod team from r/Canning because we held a vote and our users asked us to shut the community down in protest of their 3rd party app policies.

Then recently they emailed and messaged me telling me I could get in on the ground floor of buying shares.

That’s going to be a big resounding “no” from me there u/spez.

I got the offer too even though I left in June. 2 million karma, 11 year user. F SPEZ.

I gotta ask, why are you rockin' a Snoo avatar? Even if you still have love for the company but just hate Spez any advertisement/endorsement of it now benefits him.

I needed a pfp and I lazily just used the same one from my reddit account.
