Remember secret Santa?

I was talking to my tech kids (programmers for a very well known company) I told them how puzzled I was. The guy that created secret Santa was gung-ho to create a new one the second reddit announced they were closing it down. Then he disappeared.

The kids then explained non-compete and why it's always included with contracts.

Reddit closed secret Santa down but wouldn't let him bring a similar thing back.

Why? What is wrong with them?

PS this is conjecture only I haven't spoken to him as he truly is MIA

Secret Santa was back when Reddit still had a semblance of community, which I realize now means trust. I’d never trust a Reddit secret Santa these days. Heck, I’ve done successful 4chan secret Santas and I’m still not brave enough to want a modern Reddit secret Santa.

Least with a 4chan secret santa I'd know there's an 80% chance of my gift being poop and cum instead of being surprised by it.

I actually ended up getting a really nice and thoughtful gift. (And cookies which I absolutely did not eat.)

@setsneedtofeed this is not news! This is ?? You are destroying your "brand" - who wants to subscribe to this?

Mate, why are you posting on random comments complaining about them being news? What are you on about?
