A man who grabbed our concept of a centralized internet by the balls and squeezed it so hard that the Lemmy’s user count 65xed in a 3 months period. Thank you for your service

I believe this is Steve Huffman (aka u/spez) the co-founder and CEO of Reddit. (wikipedia)

This controversy is what this post is most likely referring to.

Yep I don’t miss it either. In hindsight I think I had enough of liberals condescendingly explaining to me that this is the “end of history”.

Is the next step for Reddit to make all users pay?

Are you talking money, or more in the “make them pay for their insolence” kind of pay? I think we already have the latter.

Apparently not, since they are taking away the meaningless Internet awards that were essentially a free source of money. I’m still baffled by that situation.

Haven’t you heard? They’re bringing it back, exactly as before, except now you can receive money for being awarded.

Which is going to go so goddamn terribly in no time flat.
