Thousands of subreddits are still dark.

    So after saying for weeks, if not months, that the new pricing wasn’t designed to kill third-party apps, he’s now saying the exact opposite? And thus admitting that Reddit lied to its community for the whole?

    Please, can someone give to this dude any PR training? Even the bare minimum would be an improvement at this point.

        I’m no PR expert but that would definitely be an improvement compared to where he’s at.

      He’s so bad at this that I can’t help but believe he’s actually trying to kill Reddit.

        Napoléon said something of the like “don’t attribute to malice when it’s incompetence instead”.

          (your point is good, I going to be That Guy and mention that’s Hanlon’s Razor. And while a lot of people have made some similar quotes, Napoleon wasn’t one of them as far as we know)

      I worked for Microsoft for many years and the fact is many companies’ marketing and PR departments think their customers are morons. Or perhaps it’s that they think their customers don’t mind being treated like morons.

      The shit they would send flowing down the pipeline that we were supposed to say to our customers just blew me away. “You know our customers aren’t STUPID right? I can’t talk to them like they’re stupid or they’ll escort me off premises.”
