When they said Reddit has 2000 employees I was shocked. what could they possibly do onto a website that is basically run by users (and sysadmins) and that is basically feature-wise mature? I really can’t figure out 2000 people working every day on Reddit… on what? just for a quick comparison, the whole IAmA was run by a single person (Victoria), so… what are they doing?
The obvious implication in my comment was “into user experience.”
They treated us like cattle, but forgot that you gotta feed your livestock.
I agree that the user experience is severely lacking. I just wanted to make sure to highlight that it was leadership and not individual contributors that have issues.
They certainly forgot that it was the users that made the site into what it is. And we’ll be the ones who take it away.
