Disappointed that NPR didn’t elaborate more on how Huffman truly fucked over Christian Selig.

    It’s a small group that’s very upset, and there’s no way around that… Huffman said 97% of Reddit users do not use any third-party apps to browse the site. He said “the vast majority” of moderators also do not rely on third-party apps.

    But also…

    “But the opportunity cost of not having those users on our platform, on our advertising platform, is really significant,”

    So it’s a teeny tiny group. Basically insignificant. But it’s also such a large group that we can’t possibly NOT try and monetize them 🤡.

      Right? The corporate double-speak just makes Huffman look like a moron.

      After what he’s said about Apollo and it’s dev, I don’t trust a work out of his mouth. If it wasn’t a big deal he wouldnt be so vocal about it.
