Idiot took advice from another idiot and is in shambles. I feel bad for all the staff that worked for years expecting a big pay day, but that day was never coming. I don't see how anyone can make money off of reddit like experience and not destroy it.
It's worse than an idiot taking advice from another. Musk does a lot of stupid shit because of his ego, and how he's handling Twitter is one of them. But there's still some awareness and method in his madness.
Huffman though? He's trying to implement the same exact steps that Musk followed, in a different platform, and hoping that the result will be even remotely similar. It won't - the environment is completely different; Twitter never had to handle power pressures from voluntary mods, with a long backstory of strikes. And Musk is honest enough to say a "no, fuck you", while Huffman is doing that typical Reddit thing where one says "oh my dear, we care about you" while doing the opposite, adding fuel to the fire.
Another thing that Huffman didn't consider is that investors attracted by a "lean and mean" approach already placed their bets in Twitter. They won't care about Reddit.
