    Funny how Steve never talks about how he could make Reddit better for users, only advertisers

      He couldn’t “make” anything himself. The programming of (early) Reddit was almost entire done by Aaron Schwarz. Huffman is still lapping up the proceeds from what his former friend (?) created, he himself did jack shit except sit in a high chair and command people.

      “First, [a platform] is good to its users, then, it abuses its users to make things better for its business customers; finally, it abuses those business customers to claw back all the value for itself. Then, it dies.”

      –Cory Doctorow, speaking at DEFCON31, defining a new term he had coined: enshittification

      (The talk is a bit long, but well worth a watch)

    Everything on LinkedIn is laughable… that entire site is built to suck corporate cock and it’s so transparently vapid and full of bullshit that I hate having to ever use it. But getting hired in the white collar space is significantly more difficult without a decent LinkedIn profile, so there I have to stay…
