Reminder that Reddit is a massive company and they're using spez as fall guy and it's completely working. It's the only reason he has a job still.

oh yeah, but it's also fun to bully the head dweeb who put himself in the position to be the face of this massive company.
He's not exactly the fall guy, he's the co-founder who was on the "victory lap" of steering the ship after the last fall guy (Ellen Pao) took the heat and he steered the ship into another problem before installing another fall guy.

I mean, that is unless we're talking about who is embedded into the company from outside entities. Have a look at Reddit's Director of Policy, who she worked for before and where, and try to post her name or history on Reddit. In my experience, it gets you permanently banned.

Don't know if just a typo, but for large parts of the Anglosphere, spaz is an unacceptable ableist slur. It'd be great if you could find a different way to insult Huffman, ta.

Yeah i think it was autocorrect, I'll fix that no sweat
