That was my reaction when I heard Spez whine about reddit not being profitable.

How much money did you waste on bullshit? If you'd just focused on running the damn platform I instead of reinventing it into the monstrosity it is now, how much better might you be doing?

Trend chasing like this always shows me what CEOs are just morons with no vision

It's a bit like the whole "infrastructure ain't sexy" argument. As the chief executive administrator, you're paid to "strategize", when sometimes, you just need to keep the engines running and the bills paid, but in today's society that's not praised. You need to capture people and investors' ADHD-span, make megalomanous plans that can't possibly ever come true or be some guy who fires everyone to attempt to grow profit margins.

You need to capture people and investors’ ADHD-span
