The man speaking in this clip is Nilay Patel. Hes the Editor in Chief at The Verge.

He also used to be a lawyer before moving to journalism full time. So he knows Bullshit when he sees it.

I used to think that The Verge were just a bunch of Apple zealots who couldn't even do a pc build video properly. They've come along way since then. Reddit would be absolutely insane to try and take on something like The Verge.

Side note , Nilay also has a podcast called Decoder where he interviews the heads of companies to get an idea of how they run and what their goals are. Its a pretty good show and I reccomend it. The one where Nilay takes on the head of Substack was hilarious

The hit piece Nilay did on Elon was fucking savage and one of the best things I've ever read on that site

[-] Bozicus@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the link, that article is delightfully savage. I laughed so hard my cat came over to check if I was dying.

Wow, spez is taking on The Verge now? He thinks he's a lot bigger deal than he really is...

[-] Confuzzeled@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's amazing hubris. Pride comes before a fall they say.

The Verge has been covering the shit out of the Reddit death spiral and I’m so here for it. Good for them.

[-] Bozicus@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Same, their coverage has made me feel way less terrible about all of this. Just knowing someone is out there calling Reddit on their BS makes it easier for me to accept that Reddit is no longer a safe place for me and move on.

It's also one of the very few that's been pretty accurate about it, I'm impressed.

Don’t understand how people can still use Reddit and ignore all the ickiness.

[-] SpezCanLigmaBalls@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

For real. My brother is one of those people who is like “they aren’t gonna die from this so why should I care blah blah blah”. He thinks if protesting won’t have the immediate impact that people want then those no reason for it to happen

Mods aren't going to put in the unpaid time just to make Hoffman rich.

[-] Murais@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Effective protest means accepting going without and inconvenience.

In an instant gratification society, that is anathema.

Burning bridges....

[-] memex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Can anyone explain to me, please, how is this good (financially) for the reddit investors? I mean, I ran from reddit since I only accessed it from sync. Didn't really care for the 'politics'. Now I get here and see there's a lot more to it than just the shut down of 3rd party apps (which I understood as a financial decision). If money's the motivation for all of this, how is it financially healthy?

Steve Huffman is an absolute tit.

No. People like tits.

Saying it once was enough i think.

(Or you fell into a bug.)

[-] z3n0x@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

weird. submitted it once. got triplicated somehow.

[-] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Oh ok, my bad😅

[-] carbonprop@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

TIL the fediverse has an echo.

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Echos and operate at different timelines with the synchronization differences between different instances.
