     @arstechnica Lemur Boy doesn't listen to anyone else BUT the shareholders.

     @arstechnica This implies Reddit still listens to users, when the API apocalypse last year clearly shows they don't want to.

     Between turning their back on the real genius behind Reddit, requiring their app to herd the crowds into a theatre of ads, and the CEO’s arrogance, I wiped my account and never logged in again. But also…

     While it might give weight, karma and doesn’t necessarily validate the messenger. Offering a different view should be a request for further discussion, but seemed to be asking to be brutalized.

     A vehicle can be used to run over anybody - or carry them. It’s a driver’s choice.

     @arstechnica I won't be surprised if the porn subreddits are axed within a year. Get your popcorn ready for the meltdown.

     @arstechnica If the API fiasco last year proves anything, it’s that Reddit absolutely will not listen to its users, only its shareholders.

     That’s the reason why I deleted my Reddit account. Fuck u/spez.
