      Who I blame doesn’t matter. I just stopped using it. Spez doesn’t care that I’m gone. Neither does the board. I don’t like current reddit. But I’m under no illusion that they will to clamor to keep the users that want vpns and anonymous viewing.

      A large group of data providers using the site is better for them than a huge group of content sharers.

      Well I thought by his company it implied his board. His responses to all of this have been nothing short of embarrassing and disgusting, so I think he takes a lot of the blame in this. It doesn’t matter anymore anyway, they are just killing off that site more with each and every decision they make to further enshittify it.

        Conspiracy theory: I think the whole Pao thing was a power play to make spez more powerful and played the userbase like a fiddle by doubling down on reddit’s built in misogyny and anti-authority/corporate bent at the time.
