    Oh wow, just when you think Reddit can’t get any worse. They run an old press playbook scam.

    It’s really amazing how Reddit is handling this in the absolute worst way possible. They’re banking on fatigue where people will just get too tired of fighting it and just move on. Fuck those guys.

      since they’re taking inspiration from twitter, let’s not underestimate their capacity to do even worse

    Reddit is telling their community, their staff, and the media to all shut up. The very three groups they rely on for their continued survival. It’s breathtaking.

    I’m not the biggest fan of Nilay’s articles or reviews, though it’s been a while since I’ve read one. I’ve kind of checked out on the Verge recently. Not that they’re bad or anything, just not for me.

    I’m really glad he’s on the ball with stuff like this, I absolutely wouldn’t have picked up on that maneuvering and I’m sure many others wouldn’t have either. Industry professionals like him are good for EVERYONE.

    Good shit, Nilay.
