Huffman is just an empty suit. His purpose is to take the flak for all the unpopular changes that the money people want him to make.

He'll probably be gone within 2 years, get a nice payday, and never have to work again.

Focusing your ire on Huffman specifically plays right into Reddit's hands. And spamming "fuck u/spez" everywhere just makes those of us who oppose the direction that Reddit has taken look like petulant children to neutral observers.

This article is such garbage clickbait, but of course the Lemmy audience eats it up because it validates their anti-facebook circlejerk.

It seems like a more extreme version of the weird elitism around social media that was always present on Reddit.

You can usually tell it's fake when the characters feel engineered to generate maximum outrage or sympathy.

It's possible you replied, but I only ever saw these posts when they would get enough traction to appear in r/all—so usually my comments came pretty late and never got more than a handful of votes. The few times OP did reply it was nonspecific stuff like "Fine, don't believe me."

He's a founder who already cashed out years ago—before being brought back to give the money people a credible figurehead.

Hey! Pretty sure I called you out as a bullshitter in a few of these 😆

Because it's blog spam?

Hadn't heard about this—pretty disturbing, to be honest.

Found this out the hard way 🤦‍♂️
