@dhork @Contextual_Idiot He wants eyeballs on ads, not content. Like most VC techbros, he thinks content is the easy part of the equation, and people creating content are an easily replacable nuisance.

I don't think spez cares about what kind of content gets posted, as long as something is getting posted. As evidenced by the glacial response to dealing with problem subreddits. This is also why he's going to force the subs to reopen at all costs. He needs those posts being made, and he needs the users and lurkers to view those posts for the ad revenue. It's also what will allow Reddit's competition to eat spez's lunch. Quantity is easy these days. But users will follow the quality.
