This is impressively damning. Not that any of us are surprised, of course. But, the tidbit about RIF reaching out to initiate an agreement to pay Reddit, which just happened to be dissolved a year after Huffman became CEO is 👌
Yeah, that one really surprised me.
I knew that RiF had to rename at some point and I just figured that’s when Reddit took issue with the trademark infraction of all Reddit apps, which would have kind of been fair enough.
But that the RiF dev actually had a separate deal, and his app was already called “Reddit is Fun” (which users almost certainly wouldn’t mistake for the official app),
and that deal still got cancelled – I don’t get that one.
