Spez created both reddit crypto and reddit NFTs, and spent millions doing so. At the same time, he was literally paying all the infrastructure costs for some of the world’s wealthiest companies to mass-harvest reddit’s data for their latest projects, and spent tens of millions in infrastructure, development costs, storage and bandwidth to self-host videos and images and create a broken media player (after having spent 15 years refusing to do so).
He literally sees a techbro trend start, watches it peak, and then tries to drag reddit along in it’s wake as it starts to fail. He is a failure as a CEO, and he knows it. He also knows this is his last chance to make bank, which is why he’s so stubbornly insisting on following the current path: he wants “his” bag.

That was viscerally enjoyable, I hope you insult people for a living!
