Reddit didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment. According to Rathschmidt, “We’ll no longer comment on hearsay, unsubstantiated claims, or baseless accusations from The Verge. We’ll be in touch as corrections are needed.”
I guess they are no longer content with just talking down to Reddit mods and users but now must go after news organizations that continue to bring up their misdeeds.
@JelloBrains Well I’m sure in Reddit’s mind(s) the coverage isn’t helping and this should have been over after a day or two of allowing some protesting. Over a week of major subs down or going full screw you rebellion is not what they wanna focus on with an IPO on the horizon.
I don’t think spez cares about long-term reddit. He just wants to sell out for a quick buck through an IPO and then move on. All his actions seem to be consistent with that.
The problem with full focus on that IPO is that they’ve now basically called a website that would feature stories of that IPO and told them they were liars and to pound sand, which won’t bode well for them covering Reddit’s potential IPO in a good light.
Spez told us who he is. He continues to reinforce that daily.
