Funny how Steve never talks about how he could make Reddit better for users, only advertisers
He couldn't "make" anything himself. The programming of (early) Reddit was almost entire done by Aaron Schwarz. Huffman is still lapping up the proceeds from what his former friend (?) created, he himself did jack shit except sit in a high chair and command people.
Product/project management is different than being a coder
Sure, but he’s still at the helm
"First, [a platform] is good to its users, then, it abuses its users to make things better for its business customers; finally, it abuses those business customers to claw back all the value for itself. Then, it dies."

(The talk is a bit long, but well worth a watch)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
There's something very wrong with that ~~skin suit full of spiders~~ man
I still can’t get over the way he looks like what AI or central casting might come up with if you ask for generic douchebag tech CEO.
Skin suit full of butthole spiders.
The green thing out of focus, at center, looks like it is growing on him.
You spelled skin suit full of spiders wrong.
Everything on LinkedIn is laughable... that entire site is built to suck corporate cock and it's so transparently vapid and full of bullshit that I hate having to ever use it. But getting hired in the white collar space is significantly more difficult without a decent LinkedIn profile, so there I have to stay...
Get fucked Spez

That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
