pr strategy, it’s the user’s fault, make investors and employees fear and hate the user mob and not the poor defenseless company

But as defences go, it's a pretty braindead one - the very people Spez is trying to demonise is his userbase. Why would you invest in a company that has such dangerous users?

same reason this all started in the first place, unlike you and me spez sees reddit as entirely independent of its community

to this guy, community is a tool that can be balanced and leveraged rather than central to his brand’s identity
