I'd hate to be an admin browsing some of the anti-Reddit threads. I'm sure not all of them are absolute drainclogs, but like... I'm sure it's not good for their self-esteem, lol.
Honestly I'm sure a lot (or at least some) of the reddit employees who have been there for longer feel the same way as we do. I can imagine if you joined back when reddit was open source or even shortly after, seeing reddit go down this path would be upsetting.
I know if my company decided to screw over our users this badly, my morale would be non existant. Most people don't have that much loyalty to their companies and reddit would be no different
Reddit used to be open source?
Yep! You can still see the old source code on their github too. They used to be a decent website (ignoring a few things)
That's a good point. I don't think anyone who works to make or maintain something other people will use likes to see those users screwed over by the boss. It shows that the boss not only doesn't care about users, they also don't care about everyone who works hard to keep those users happy.
