  9. Reddit plans to hire more young graduates for jobs because they are good with AI. This is different from companies that worry AI will take jobs away.

  12. Well, , we've had some good times, but I cannot stand anymore. Maybe is ready for the big-time now. Either way, gonna give it a shot.

    My sympathies to the mods and devs that have put in so many hours of hard work.

  13. Steve Huffman: "Apollo threatened us, said they'll 'make it easy' if Reddit gave them $10 million. This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us."

    Luckily, Apollo developer Christian Selig had proof that Huffman lied.

    While the media coverage (and many written subreddit positions) focus on the API changes, it's the justified anger at Huffman's dishonesty that fuels many of the redditor protests.

  14. While I disagree with u/spez's actions, I understand his perspective. Reddit's most valuable asset is its curated text data for training Large Language Models like ChatGPT. Closing down the API protects that asset. He's likely betting that subreddit moderation will be solved with LLMs so the mods that generated that data are of little concern going forward. There will be only one chance to monetize this data asset.

    The reason I disagree with u/spez's actions is because I don't believe this asset belongs to him. I'm sure he's protected from a legal perspective but from a philosophical perspective, when a user writes an idea on an online forum, they don't forfeit ownership of that idea. People who contributed to Reddit even 12 months ago had no idea their thoughts will be monetized and consumed by LLMs. We need laws to protect people's data and to democratize data assets.

    I also wish u/spez would just be honest about what he's doing. Telling possibly career ending lies about developers and disregarding the mods that made Reddit is inexcusable. It's clear that Reddit has succeeded despite u/spez's leadership.

    It seems #SteveHuffman has made his choice in regards to that quote.

  16. @demvoter #SteveHuffman is making a lot of sudden and panicky-looking decisions lately. I'm guessing it's coke

  17. I owe #SteveHuffman an apology. I have written that he has bad judgement. He does not. He has LOUSY judgement.

    Admiring the tactics of a demonstrated incompetent.

    Post-Musk Twitter just had to close it Colorado office for not paying the rent for the last 3 months.

  18. In other news I’m done following #reddit its dead to me with the news of #spez trippling down. #stevehuffman did me a service to open to real communities and take back my data and privacy. Place importance back on #human #community.

    I do feel bad for the mods, and hope the good ones come over to the #fediverse continuing the #redditblackout and help us build something better

  19. I read years ago that the most successful corporate leaders have high emotional intelligence and often think about the future.

    The corporate culture of Reddit is to not think things through. Whether that is in how they handle *people* or lousy software engineering by not adequately testing capitalistic features like their automated site moderation which bans long term good users over mistakes.

    #Huffman is a man of average intelligence who got lucky as a young adult with a web site he put up. He isn't a thinker.

    He is a less successful copy of Mark Zuckerberg. They are both the Beverly Hillbillies of wealthy CEOs.

    #Reddit CEO: Apollo-Related Subreddit Blackouts 'Will Pass,' No Significant Revenue Impact So Far

    “Reddit CEO #SteveHuffman on Monday told Reddit employees that he is unconcerned about current protests over the company's sudden #API changes. In a letter shared by #TheVerge, #Huffman said that while there's a "lot of noise" right now, it "will pass."
