jackmeehoffWe should start calling u/spez by his real name. Because most people won’t know who he is if he shows up somewhere else in future.
Huffman is just an empty suit. His purpose is to take the flak for all the unpopular changes that the VC people who blindly poured their client’s money into reddit want him to make.
He’ll probably be gone within 2 years, get a nice payday, and never have to work again.
Focusing your ire on Huffman specifically plays right into Reddit’s hands. And spamming “fuck u/spez” everywhere just makes those of us who oppose the direction that Reddit has taken look like petulant children to neutral observers.
He’s the founder. He wants to cash out. He’s doing anything to get there.
That’s more than just an empty suit. Someone with a backbone would have gone a different direction
He’s a founder who already cashed out years ago—before being brought back to give the money people a credible figurehead.
