"We wanted the user to feel a sense of pride and accomplishment by struggling through the dog-shit Reddit interface."

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Lmao, they'll probably beat the EA comment for the record of the most downvoted post/comment, if Reddit doesn't rig the score.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Followed by reddit announcing that they're removing the downvote button because it's "used for harrassment."

"We're locking this post because we're being brigaded by trolls"

YouTube 2.0

I wouldn't put it past them at this point.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

They've had fake accounts to try and make the website look busier and they've edited other people's comments. Is there anything else equally immoral they've done that I don't know about?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I am expecting more than just beating the EA record tomorrow.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or he will just answer a few comments way down the page that don't ask anything difficult and ignore the top 20.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He’ll just manipulate the votes like he’s edited user’s comments in the past.

Spez: It's all about the user experience. Totally not for profit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Ok but what I crave are all the horrible puns and recycled insults. It will be like the grand finale fireworks display of reddit.

Spez: eat shit! You will all be my slaves in the apocalypse!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I hope no one comes to the ama

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago

Yep. Fuck him and reddit. I hope they realise their mistake and also realise it's too late and they've fucked up.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

already too late for me. I've been waiting for a reason to leave.

It is absolutely NOT too late for the vast majority of users. That's why I want reddit to go through with their plan and dig their own grave. Sick and tired of corporate bullshit to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I agree with this. And as much as I'd like to say I'd stick to lemming, I'm pretty sure I am one of the plebs that'd go right back the moment they reverse their decision

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Could this become the most downvoted post of all time I wonder. Spez is not exactly Mr Popular at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

what if it beats the EA comment lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

or Ellen Pao's AMA. remember that shit?

it would be ironic if r/DownvotedToOblivion was going dark, but they're not...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

He's just going to edit the downvoted count

Yeah, that’s not gonna go well for him.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The only thing I used reddit for was to lurk, see photos, upvote and read some comments or posts. I was barely active during this couple of years with a new account, after deleting an old one. Sometimes I saw it, and still see it, difficult for me to be active because of karma, some kind of polarization or toxicity, even on safe subreddits.

The good thing is that here, karma is non existent. Yes, you can upvote or downvote posts and comments, but those votes don't go to you as karma, so you're not affected. And that really helps neurodivergent people, as it's my case too (rejection sensitive dysphoria, I think it's called, one comorbidity of ADHD).

So, yes, fuck Reddit, and I'll stay here as long as it lasts.

That AMA is going to be a shitshow of epic proportions, and I'm here for it

Fuck that guy

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

i'm sure it's going to be a civilized discussion that's worth reading

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah I bet this is just going to be an attempt at ass covering and blaming 3rd party devs for whatever. In any case it's almost guaranteed to be a huge clusterfuck for reddit with whatever tone deaf replies and talking points spez regurgitates.

I hope that nobody asks nothing. That will be the best protest that we can do.

I don't see any way they can win back goodwill from this.
