Splez is obviously incredibly incompetent - "New Reddit" is been a complete disaster technically and design-wise. It's also amazing how they have a top 20 website worldwide and haven't figured out how to make a profit from it, while meanwhile companies like facebook make money like they're printing it.

People make fun of me when I tell them I am still mad about when ElementaryOS pulled the exact same thing. But I am, I'll never use their product because the people who make it revealed who they truly are. I took note of them and will never use anything they are ever involved with. Now spez is on that list, too.
Wait, what happened with ElementaryOS?
Ah, thanks!
Seriously, all they had to do was let users rebel by making weird content. People love rebelling and making weird ass content. Most of them would have stuck around just for that.
Well, Facebook makes money hand-over-fist by exploiting user data and creating a Panopticon-style advertising machine.
I don't think reddit is ethically above that though, just not very good at figuring out how to do it.
They can't even spell ethics at reddit.
