Spez says the blackout is no big deal and will blow over by Wednesday. Spez also says people are so pissed off they will randomly attack people in the streets wearing Reddit gear. So either people don’t care and everything will be back to normal soon, or people are in a blind rage about the API changes and prone to random acts of violence. Which is it?
Notice Spez doesn’t go so far as to claim there have been any specific threats or incidents of violence. There is no evidence or justification supporting his warning. He is just 100% throwing that in there for the headline. Reddit has gotten bad press all week, Spez thinks pretending to be a victim of the rabid reddit mob (which is simultaneously full of keyboard warriors who will accept defeat by tomorrow) will get him some sympathy in the press. The dude is pathetic.
Seeing corpo tech-bro douche bags actually face backlash and make up nothing-burgers to distract from their behavior has got to be one of the funniest things of all time.
I mean he’s an asshat but you do understand that there are definitely people who would commit acts of violence for this, right? Like that is a thing, I’m sure most of the employees have recieved death threats.
