Popcorn tastes good.

Edit: Honestly, I didn't understand the depth of the frustration, and I really regret this comment. I'm leaving it here as a reminder not to do it again.

Congrats on making yourself and the Admins look even more ridiculous and unprofessional than your consumer base already thinks you are, we are embarrassed for you. Enjoy your popcorn.

The very first core value[1] of reddit:

Be authentic, passionate, and empathetic.

You are none of these things.

Dude half the traffic this site receives goes to the subs that are now dark.

You're losing revenue.

All the transparency...

You just completely disrespected people literally working for your company for free providing your company with content, the people that made reddit what it is more than you ever did. You really are disgusting.

I've been on your site for years, and I just only realized now that your business model is to reduce costs by handing out the perception of power in return for free labor - drastically decreasing overhead in the process, while holding you unaccountable (until you're dumb enough to speak, like a smug twat).

You took a democratic platform and monetized it, and now make a mockery of it because you can't see anyone from your green tower. You took something that was kind of neat - an expression of what the internet was supposed to be - and you've tainted it. For a group of people that have so much influence over the discourse of the developed world, that's a real shame that you've let things devolve to this, rather than building something better and going to the next iteration, whatever that would have been.

e: hey asshole - my account wont be active anymore. its a dumb content management system that you set up, and easily replicable. you let it get to your head.

get fucked - i actually go out to the bush to spread the internet, you're just a cunt that got lucky thinking your meow cats matter or whatever the fuck. the culmination of your life is actually nothing.

Disregarding the community response to this, I'm appalled at this because this is your view on a situation where you **fired someone**.

Instead of being sarcastic and a complete idiot.. how about being a decent person and 1. Hire someone that is just as good as Victoria (doubtful) 2. Rehire Victoria or 3. At least make an announcement on what is planned so the mods across everywhere know what to do.

AND btw you wouldn't have to spend tons and tons of money on anti-brigade shit, if you just would be honest and make an announcement with the honest truth on why you are doing stuff, and what people should prepare for.

Also good luck becoming the next Digg. Heard there site went really well after they started censoring and firing good people xD
