Hard work pays off, I guess!
Because he did such a good job and “earned” it …
He looks like he is still searching for his ‘precious’
reddit these days is very different. i remember people were buying each other reddit gold back in the day to pay for the site so it wouldn’t have to bend to advertisers and their rules. now reddit is big business
Lemmy.World is far batter than Reddit, I Love Lemmy
We should have absolute caps on incomes and wealth. In no fair world, would anyone be compensated with enough wealth to buy a fleet of mega yachts.
“I have a hemorrhoid. It’s like an infected blood vessel on your ass. I’m nine years old, and I have a hemorrhoid, Stan. I have a hemorrhoid, and, Cartman has his own theme park.”
Ok so I don’t actually have a hemorrhoid, but bad things do happen to good people. And Cartman has $193M in this example.
This is what people mean when they say profit is theft
People are too faaackin stupid. Reddit moderators are modern day slave . Only difference now is they enjoying being a slave
I mean he ruined Reddit and took their IPO from like $30 to $250. Investors don’t give two shits about the user, if they can make more money.
No one deserves that much no matter what they’ve done. To squeeze that much out of the company requires taking away from employees, the company as a whole and advertisers.
According to a google search, reddit has 2,233 employees. Meaning his bonus is ~$86.5k per employee.
Whenever I see these giant C suite bonuses announced, it seems hard to imagine why every single staff member doesnt demand a massive raise, and they all strike till they get it. After all, the company has just proven they have the massive piles of extra cash and can afford it.
Because it takes organization to get everyone to strike, especially when a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. This is why corporations are also very anti-union. It’s how that organization happens. It’s how we got a 5-day work week!

Obligatory FUCK SPEZ.
Came here to say this FUCK SPEZ
I gotta unpack this a little…
Reddit’s main source of revenue is advertising. Other companies pay Reddit to shove ads in your face. You probably buy products from at least some of those companies, and while market forces and consumer perceptions have large influence, operating costs are still a factor in setting those prices. Just like everyone else, Reddit sets the prices of its advertising services based in part on its operating costs, which includes Spez’s salary.
Even if you avoid Reddit, things you buy are more expensive because this fucking toolshed gets paid $193 million a year just to be a sociopathic jackoff with a popular website.
I quit Reddit years ago, but I’m still fucking pissed about this shit and I have every right to be.
Impressive
Just like auto insurance is more expensive than it should be because they advertise like mad.
You’re funny. You think Reddit is the only place these tools get paid. So many of these are from other sites as well. And they dish out money to all of them.
Nothing OP said indicated he thought Reddit was the only place that did that.
Go fuck spez, spez fucker.
Dumbass
That doesn’t make them wrong, it just proves the companies are even worse than was originally implied cause they do this same scumfuckery all over the place. Congratulations, you played yourself.
I’m pretty sure my point was that they were worse then this dude said. I didn’t play myself, I just proved how many dumb fucks are in this site that don’t know how to fucking read you fucking tool.
Bro chill. You don’t even really seem to be disagreeing. Have some water and lie down for a minute and come back after you’ve cooled off.

Not exactly sure what you missed or what your point is supposed to be.
The same would be true of any ad platform. I hate Facebook for all the ills it’s caused society and it pisses me off that my breakfast cereal is slightly more expensive because of Zuckerberg’s compensation package too.
But Facebook, et al. aren’t being discussed here. Reddit is.
Even if I stay off the internet completely, a portion of the money I spend STILL goes in their pocket, and the only way to prevent it is to spend hours exhaustively researching every product I buy to find the one or two alternatives out of hundreds of others that don’t feed into the system somehow. And even if product A doesn’t buy ads on these platforms, the place I shop for it probably does. If I can’t buy direct, as is the case with so many purchases, all that time and research are robbed of any real impact by the fact that my closest retail outlet spends millions on targeted Internet ads.
But it’s not really about the money though, it’s about where it’s going.
In an alternate timeline, Spez, Zuck, and the rest are decent human beings with a functioning conscience and use their platforms for the common good. I don’t mind those versions of them getting a piece of my alternate self’s dollar. But I don’t live in that universe.
So, because I’m stuck here, every single one of these modern-day Prometheus wannabe, god-complex, techbro shitheads can kiss my hairy ass.
