God I hate Reddit, but if we have any jannies on that powerjanny call tomorrow, maybe bring this up!

I honestly don't know how they are that many people working for reddit. The company never do anything except hiring pedos, or putting out a bugged new feature and immediatly forgetting about it every 2 years.

I'm surprised they didn't try "promoting" some jannies with a 0 raise to do some of the shit they were paying these people for. Surely they could get them to do it for free by enticing them with some bullshit feature like giving their username a nice flair to lord over the jannies who weren't chosen

Guarantee none of them were doing anything at all other than maybe going to meetings with eachother to talk about meetings

They were trying to build themselves up as google or Facebook level data harvesters a few years ago. Probably hired a bunch of data scientists to fleece investors out of more funds.

They probably got involved in some military or deep state program. But becouse it is reddit. They are getting paid some sad sum of money.
Spez probably did it so he can larp as spy.
There has been multiple murders where man approaches random man. Tells him he works for cia and needs hia help to kill someone. And they belive and help them. Spez feels like one of those guys

And the sum total of that is that I get ads (on mobile web) for a restaurant on the other side of the planet. Well done, A+ work.

There was a fun drama when a guy was hired by one of the reddit founders directly or something, then spent literally a year reimplementing the bitcoin client reference implementation in javascript, then started making noises about redditcoin supported by his (still incomplete) stuff, at which point people started laughing at it and someone more reasonable promptly fired him because we've spent a year of SF programmer salary on the guy doing what?

Tbf a shitcoin would still be more useful than half the shit their devs put out.
