“Protest and dissent is important,” Huffman said. “The problem with this one is it’s not going to change anything because we made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on.”

Honestly, my reply to this particular statement is that maybe Reddit should die!

I'm not entirely sure that Steve Huffman understands how protests work. The whole point is you don't have control over them, friendo.

You can't just say but we made a business decision and expect people to just say welp guess we should give up, there's no overcoming business decisions.

Bro has the personality of a turd and the charisma to match.

A good play might have been to buy it off Selig for a few million. But he's so fucking unlikable and put his foot in his mouth dozens of times at this point that the power users are unlikely to back down. Reddit will limp along and lose another 40%+ valuation over the next few months as spez plows through his community to try and squeeze as much money as he can from the corpse not realizing he's doing the opposite of what he needs to do.
