    I think the admins deliberately chose not to censor “fuck spez” because it makes people think they are a free platform

      I 104% expect them to use Spez as a scapegoat at this point. Even if that wasn’t their original intent, I fully expect that now they’re letting the hate focus on him, then they’ll fire him (don’t worry, he’ll still get a hefty severance package) in hopes that it will satisfy people. They want the anger many people have towards Reddit to get transferred to Spez.

      After all, this is exactly how Spez ended up CEO. They pulled this with Ellen Pao.

      They don’t care. They only care about engagement and they got excellent numbers this month, I wager.
