So far Spez's legacy includes, in no particular order:

Changing other peoples' comments
Starting a war with the 3rd party app devs who made reddit the easily accessible platform it is (browsing reddit on the toilet wasn't nearly as common before the first apps came out, and all of the first ones were 3rd party)
Being a moderator on the jailbait subreddit, a community for sharing sexually suggestive pictures of underage teenage girls
Forcing new moderation teams on communities whose moderation he didn't agree with
Straight up lying about the 3rd party apps and their developers every step of the way

Way to go, Steve Huffman! You had a community of volunteers build your platform for you and now you're taking it all away from them. I'm sure this won't backfire.

spez is also a doomsday prepper who dreams about living as some sort of lord in a post-apocalyptic feudal society

“Being around other people is a good thing. I also have this somewhat egotistical view that I’m a pretty good leader. I will probably be in charge, or at least not a slave, when push comes to shove.”

I think he’s overestimating his power and abilities. More likely scenario is the other survivors try to recreate that scene from Deliverance with him.

Of course he's overestimating about himself, he's a narcissist

He has mistaken having a lot of money for having leadership talent or any useful skill that would be valuable in a situation where infrastructure has completely collapsed and fiat currency is worthless. He is not physically strong, he doesn't inspire people to follow him, he doesn't know how to find and prepare food, how to source water, how to build shelter, how to make fire...

He knows nothing at all that would make him useful as anything beyond "that guy who digs graves" until he eventually dies from the physical exertion that his candy ass has never actually had to deal with.
