Fun fact: Back in the day RIF paid for the pleasure to use the reddit name and spez killed the deal upon taking over.

I do remember when its name was "Reddit is fun" and then was renamed to "RIF is fun" but never questioned why. Your explanation fits the current mess.

I always wondered why the app was called RIF is fun. I always tried to search for reddit because I thought the app was called Reddit is Fun.

I knew Reddit had claimed trademark and got them to remove it, I didn't realise they had a deal at one point then Reddit went back on it

Spez has altered the deal, pray he doesn't alter it further.

He already has. I'm altering the deal too. spez can go fuck himself. I'm out

I had thought RIF was illegally using the trademark, even so I didn't care who was in the wrong, RIF was a godsend even then, I wouldn't be using reddit on phone without it. Grant to learn that RIF tried to do good legally until spez came along.
