  I don’t think I would. If it were a zero-sum game where I either have good reddit and no money, or modern reddit and a billion dollars, I’d probably take the money. But its not like spez was a broke man barely surviving paycheck to paycheck before he ruined it. I just don’t understand the greed rich people have to constantly take more for themselves when they’re already doing great.

  It’s a problem inherent to centralized online platforms.
