He even claims that around a thousand subreddits went dark. It was 8,000. Hundreds are already pledging to stay dark indefinitely, including huge ones like r/aww and r/videos.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see sockpuppet accounts starting / running some kind of “r/videosnew” and “r/awwnew” if they stay offline for a longer period of time
I think he’s just making it clear that only those with many, many users matter to him, because individuals generate little value for him. He probably only counted the most popular subreddits as worth noticing.
I imagine he personally is under immense pressure right now, and that probably isn’t doing too well for his decision making. It’s either that or this guy really just doesn’t like the users that would be enabling a very large payday for him and their investors. Makes no sense either way.
No, but like saying the appolo dev is blackmailing them, spez is trying to twist the narrative

spez will probably just instate new puppet mods and forcefully reopen them.
