As the social media site matures, its users and moderators have made their displeasure about corporate changes known, putting the company into a bind.
If he wants Reddit to grow up, he should start by doing the same...
Yeah I mean, lead by example dude. If you want reddit to grow up you should start by doing so yourself.
Be aware that thoughts of capitalists are based upon money, not based upon mind. Growing up means that of price, not of people.
Woof, not a good look NYT. The misrepresentation is strong with this one.
This is why I encouraging comments.... I managed to drop kbin into mine :)
Honestly not as bad as I would've expected from NYT, but maybe anticapitalist is more of a pejorative for them than it is for me.
Grow up = “do exactly what I tell them too”
Having heard about his moderation of r/jailbait, the gaslighty tactic sounds right up his alley.
“Oh, minor victim, adults do adult things. It just happens to be exactly what I’m telling you to do. You want to grow up and be mature, right?”
The guy is a creep.

Growing up for a multi billion dollars company means fully monetizing user data they collect and then trying to collect even more. They've got ip logs so using phone permissions to try and get sim card data for a more detailed profile through use of public directories and using that to provide a better idea of what type of ad click through users with certain interests and other demographic data respond to can be of real value to marketers if they can properly organize it so it isn't random data.
Spez mistakes being cynical and greedy with "maturing," as is typical of the cynical and greedy.
Reddit's situation is now mentionned on the NYTIMES. That means it made it. May the fall continues.
