Reddit has never really had a competent CEO and that has never been more apparent than with Steve Huffman who has no background or skill as a leader. He also was never the one responsible for building and fostering the community side of things, that was Alexis’ department. One could argue that even as a developer he was second fiddle to Aaron. “What would you say you do here, Steve?” - The Bobs

I wouldn’t be sad if OpenAi or Google acquired Reddit as a source for training future models. Don’t try to optimize it for advertising, the value is in the human-created content.
