Screenshot included so you do not have to browse to it. Literally. I'm not even joking. The entire subreddit is 2 days old (founded immediately after the AMA) and populated+moderated exclusively by accounts less than 6 months old following standard generic name schemes and posting comments that reek of chatGPT generated responses.
This is the most hilarious, saddest, most obviously transparent attempt at propaganda astroturfing I have ever seen.
Spez. Get a bloody life, my dude.
I just looked at their pinned post and it's 100% satire and if you think otherwise you've never been on satire sub before
What's Not True
Mr. Huffman has never lied or been dishonest. He has been 100% forward throughout this whole process.
That apps "can't afford" to pay the reasonable fees Mr. Huffman is requesting. Many of them are embroiled in inefficiency, and even the highest cited api costs on their part have still been well within reason.
Mr. Huffman's actions won't "kill" reddit. In fact, the changes he id making are necessary to ensure that reddit continues to thrive.
For all these reasons and many more, we at /r/FriendsofSpez #standwithhuffman, and you should too!
Illustrates well problem with satire and how subs like pcm become what they are. Some people don't get satire.
I mean this guy almost got me too.
OP is just a victim of Poe's Law. :)
To be honest, in this day and age it’s hard to tell. Whatever happens, there are always enlighted contrarians willing to stand with a stupid opinion
