And last year Spez made 193 million for these decisions because thats just how humanity works.
capitalism rewards the grifter and destroyer when not tightly controlled by regulation.
Our current grifter economy was seeded in Reagan's radical deregulation. And we haven't even hit the worst of it yet.
I thought he said the company wasnt profitable, how does he get almost 200 million dollars then?
Had to dump all that money somewhere to make sure the company wasn't profitable..
Stock mostly
It's $193M in stock, which can only be cashed out once Reddit IPOs, thus the drive to do so. Aside from that he gets a "mere" $600k/yr. He can probably borrow against that to a certain point, but I'm not sure a bank would value assets that can't be liquidated.
Lots of people get things they don't deserve.
Reddit: over enthusiastic, damp-sounding applause

We need more people like Lina Khan!

2 hrs 37 min!
Spez is in so far over his head at this point it feels like
"keep digging"
Spez is on his way to his own Digg 4.0
By the time they get on their asses it'll be too late
It was being used before they had the agreement anyways so it's a little too late to stop it lol
I wonder if some users were working with the FTC and sent things up the chain because fuck spez
