I wonder if this is the motivation behind removing the auth-gate on mobile. Previously, if I browsed the mobile site on my phone in a non-signed-in state (I deleted my account), I could view 5-8 top-level comments and that's it. Clicking "Show more comments" or trying to expand child comments would show a modal asking me to sign in or download the app.
That changed last week along with a complete rework of the mobile site. I'm betting that they saw a huge increase in unauthenticated mobile users with a far below-average time-on-site metric and decided to open it up.
Overall, I appreciate the change because I still lurk in many of the niche subs that I still haven't found a good replacement for. self-hosted, datahoarder, webdev, 3dprinting, et al. have analogs here, but the content isn't as deep.
that's what they get for perma-banning all their human users.
I’d rather not even see that cunts face
Is it wrong that I really really hope he makes less than $6 million out of this whole deal in the end? It just seems fitting...
$6 million
Why that amount? I'm guessing I'm missing some backstory.
That's about how much he got out of selling Reddit to Conde Nast, which he was unhappy about after seeing the hundreds of millions other people got for selling their platforms like Myspace.

Can't say I feel bad at all.
Reddit is the most censored platform on the internet, who wants to use that? Before the API fallout, it was barely tolerable with the subreddit fiefdoms and the shitlords who ruled over them with a pudgy iron fist. To be honest I'm surprised it took so long to make an open source link aggregator since it sucked right after the ye olde digg debacle. "They're our enemies"
Tbh I prefer "censorship" over wide spread fascism. Or I would but the fascism is still rampant on reddit
I’m ok with the platform having open speech, so long as I can find communities within the platform that have basic rules of decorum. If I can’t filter out people, like the assholes I have to interact with at my workplace, to actually engage in intellectual discourse without it revolving into this racial slur or that political opinion, I’ll just find somewhere else to spend my time.
