Dude, the fucker has no clue how to RUN reddit much less monetize it.

He's the only clown running the entire circus. He's allowed the inmates run the asylum for years, he's allowed small-dicked neckbeard mods with too much time on their hands to power. He's been pushing out anybody that has a brain. He's made a killing on exploiting the vulnerable (if you're someone with mental issues, the last place you want to be is on Reddit with how much they don't give a shit about privacy on there. Please go elsewhere for your sake.).

He's scrubbed the existence of Aaron Swartz, he's made the other co-founder irrelevant. No, this is Spez just being a power-hungry fuckwad and it's showing.

He wants money and power. If he's getting those, then he's getting what he wants. We all know that Reddit was and is overvalued. Several of the things Reddit has done in the past year or two guarantee that it won't be around in the long run, and perhaps not in the medium run. But if he can get his power and money now, he wins.

Many of us actually use social media in part because we value the community. But some people are greedy jerks and they just don't care, and it doesn't matter what you say to them because their values are unfriendly.
