  Because they’re hopeful they can save the site through activism. What they forget is that they are not protesting a government, they are trying to stop a corporate entity from fulfilling it’s legal obligations to make money for it’s investors.

    I think using the site you’re protesting against is peak slacktivism

    Why do they want to save the site? The leadership deserves to see it die.

    There’s nothing wrong with Reddit trying to be profitable. It should be profitable.

    Apollo and Reddit Is Fun even had large subscriber bases willing to pay up to support our usage.

    Reddit leadership is just really shitty. That is just the reality. Even if they wanted to be profitable, Spez simply doesn’t know how to get there.

      there is a problem, in the same way your cat pees on your rug to mark territory, its instincts for marking are too strong and its higher reasoning is too weak to stop it. its when capitalism being an instinct, takes over higher brain functions is it a problem.
