    This is hilarious tbh. Please don’t get me wrong, I really feel for the mods who put so much time and energy into the sub (all subs for that matter). It sucks.

    But god, watching reddit implode feels so fucking good. Spez is an abrasive asshole and, it turns out, also a moron, and it’s nice to see his web site fall from grace so publicly.

        I don’t think it will. They will go with the “single greatest resource for AI data” angle and make bank. They aren’t ignoring this backlash just to kill some apps.

          Yeah, which is precisely why it’s important to ruin the product with random spam, racism, overly sexual comments, lorem ipsum and for good measure some fetish porn and gore images.

          Wasn’t Microsoft training an AI from Twitter and it basically turned into the aforementioned garbage?

          I doubt that companies would enjoy to train their models on a foul dataset filled with nonsense, hatred, porn and gore.

            I guess this could be a way to finally create that genocidal AI everybody keeps promising us is definately coming.

      Is he really abrasive? I haven’t seen him say anything outside of what I’d expect an exec of a company to say.

      Is he really a moron? Dude is walking away with a lot of zeros in his bank account. From what I can tell, it sounds like he’s pretty happy with the outcome.

      I’m not supporting him, but assuming he makes money from it, it would be childish to call him “dumb”.

        Spez is a liar, a cheat and a habitual editor of comments that insult him. He’s also incredibly petty and rude.

        is he really a moron?

        He hired 2,000 employees to run a site like Reddit, has effectively destroyed the website’s image and the ongoing protests have revealed to people why it’s such a shitty investment.

        His riches are all luck, not brains; he can’t even sell one of the most visited sites in the world without gutting it first.

          Let’s not forget that Daddy Elon is his biggest hero and Reddit could become a shit show like Twitter.
