    What spez wants is to be a notorious billionaire, respected for making reddit a profitable social media company. What he is, and what he probably always will be, is a shitty leader who doesn’t actually have a lot of business sense making decisions using emotion and ego and alienating a chunk of the user population.

    Hard to say if he will suffer any real consequences for this, but at least in some important circles he’s lost a lot of clout.
