Ok so something most people are missing, spez is only a small part of Reddit.

They have other managers, board members, etc

Remember when Reddit threw Poe under the bus, they ruined her career and threw her away.

After they fired her the Reddit protests stopped.

Learn who else is a part of Reddits management too and raised shit.

It's not like Spez is only some miniscule middle manager for reddit. He absolutely has a say in how things will go. He has shown who he really is.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 years ago

I think they're saying not to get too narrow on who you're blaming. It's easy for these corporations to pin it all on the CEO, when things get too hot get rid of him and then continue exactly as it was. Not that spez didn't play his part, but he's not alone.

I'll have to find it, but I remember seeing some comments/ posts explaining how it was Huffman himself who was really the one pushing to kill off 3rd party apps.
Plus, he's the one who was lying about the Apollo dev's comments as well as editing other users comments.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca -5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

3rd party apps are not compatible with making $$$. Anyone in the business or shareholders who want to make profit will be behind killing 3rd party apps.

[–] ilikekeyboards@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Having third party apps is very profitable if those apps are used by thousands of unpaid moderators giving away free labour.

And one of the main reasons they do this labour is because these apps make it very efficient to moderate a huge number of posts.

Reddit is not a profitable venture. It's a charitable one run by the users who prop it up.

[–] bric@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Sure they are, if they charged a similar amount for api access as they're currently making from an average user all of the apps would gladly pay it, and reddit wouldn't be losing any money from 3rd party apps. They could even charge 2-3x that amount and make a nice profit off of it, and all of the apps would probably be fine. It's only because they set the bar at an absurd 20x that the apps can't come up with enough money to pay

It's time for some rapid decompression, baby

It's a "sub", get it? :P

[–] edgerunneralexis@dataterm.digital 14 points 2 years ago

The poor snoo look at its sad face :(

[–] limelight79@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago

I feel bad for the Snoo though.

[–] gnarly@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Not telling you what to do but I did post this to /r/comics

[–] ComatoseSquirrel@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

How do you think the unthinkable? With an itheberg.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Submarines are supposed to sink!

[–] gnarly@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They submerge, not sink.

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Then why do they call them sinkmarines?

[–] gnarly@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

This is probably the stupidest comment I got and I freakin' love it.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Not the whole way though!

[–] cheecken0@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Reddit failing? Unsinkable!

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

[–] ciagovv@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

Dude, this is some A-tier drawing, its awesome!

[–] Antik@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

A rare triple entendre has been spotted.

Best not to spook it.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Waiting for the sudden, catastrophic implosion.

[–] Jeef@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Solid

[–] Laice@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You should have added a bit of an under water area with digg in the ground

[–] slyme@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just chcked out the first page you have at thar link you posted, and I quite liked it. Nice job.

[–] gnarly@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thanks it's a labor of love and robots as I use the series to navigate my own take on everything going on right now with Ai in as real time as possibly. I may start a twitch to make regular video content but haven't fully made a choice. Being a vtubers sounds kind of fun though. Thanks for reading!

[–] DekkerNSFW@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Interesting style! Reminded me of Jollyjack at first. I feel like you two have a similar use of colour and exaggerated shapes. The meme is funny too, of course.

[–] N00b22@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

[–] misterundercoat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] Regna@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

[–] LokyinN@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
