It's times like this where I wish "stakeholders" had a say in the matter besides just the shareholders. I know it isn't my company and they can do what they want, but it's hard to just sit here watching it commit corporate suicide. It's gone way downhill since I joined in 2008 but still.
That would be pretty fantastic, wouldn't it? I'm not sure what that would look like in practice, but I'm 100% with you. Reddit has been a pretty central part of my life for the past 15 years or so. It's really sad to say goodbye - it feels like the family dog got bit by a zombie (or, more realistically, got rabies). You've gotta put it down because the version of it that you know and love is already dead.
I mean, reddit users paid for servers basically out of pocket for almost a decade. The levels of corporate greed and lack of shame are simply baffling.
