Reddit has always been run by mouth breathers. is probably the smartest one in the room over there.
Which is why it was kinda shocking when reddit started doing some of the things any competent company would've done years ago, like get rid of third party apps and stop hosting tons of gore and porn on a site that's trying to attract advertisers.
yes. and they were all fairly intelligent. you could make the argument that they are out of touch but steve actually uses this site sometimes and has to know how spiteful the userbase is especially after the updates he posted and the constant stream of "frick spez"
Several avenues they can develop, honestly. Somewhere between sociopaths, high functioning autism (CTO), or the worst ladder climbing sycophants you've ever witnessed.

"NOOO LIVING IN VIBRANT SAN FRAN FRICKING CISCO IS MY IDENTITY YOU DUMB NERD-- WE REFUSE!!!"
"but... it would be cheaper... for the company.. and all the employees? :( Save money? Do-- do you like money?"
<- le reddit board
or at least that's what I picture happening
Yishan was also big mad about the reddit userbase calling him a loser and him not being able to do shit about anything EVER so he just... quit coming to work. Then Ellen Pao floated to the top

you refuse to buy that someone who can't turn a profit monetizing a site that's basically just text and some links is not the brightest bulb in the room?
