    reddit these days is very different. i remember people were buying each other reddit gold back in the day to pay for the site so it wouldn’t have to bend to advertisers and their rules. now reddit is big business

    We should have absolute caps on incomes and wealth. In no fair world, would anyone be compensated with enough wealth to buy a fleet of mega yachts.

    No one deserves that much no matter what they’ve done. To squeeze that much out of the company requires taking away from employees, the company as a whole and advertisers.

      According to a google search, reddit has 2,233 employees. Meaning his bonus is ~$86.5k per employee.

      Whenever I see these giant C suite bonuses announced, it seems hard to imagine why every single staff member doesnt demand a massive raise, and they all strike till they get it. After all, the company has just proven they have the massive piles of extra cash and can afford it.

        Because it takes organization to get everyone to strike, especially when a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. This is why corporations are also very anti-union. It’s how that organization happens. It’s how we got a 5-day work week!

    “I have a hemorrhoid. It’s like an infected blood vessel on your ass. I’m nine years old, and I have a hemorrhoid, Stan. I have a hemorrhoid, and, Cartman has his own theme park.”

    Ok so I don’t actually have a hemorrhoid, but bad things do happen to good people. And Cartman has $193M in this example.

    I mean he ruined Reddit and took their IPO from like $30 to $250. Investors don’t give two shits about the user, if they can make more money.

    I hope everyone will leave Reddit and go to Lemmy or Piefed. If you still have a Reddit account might as well say fuck it and start promoting Lemmy/Piefed until you get banned.
