    Much like reddit, if you don’t go with lemming’s preconceived “facts”, you’re wrong.

    Someone stuck him as a mod. And below we got a poster saying, “He was clearly aware of the situation.”

    Yeah, the CEO of a major company is out there worrying about BS details like this. OR, he did know about it, and as a CEO of a major website, was too dumb to see it was a bad look?

    LOL, I give no fucks about the man, but spreading lies around here is making us just like reddit.

      You know they made a custom award for the creator of the jailbait sub called “Pimp Daddy,” right? And that for a long time one of the autosuggested results from Google when you googled reddit was the jailbait sub? Do you think a CEO of a “major company” (not what reddit was at the time, they were still desperately drumming up users) is somehow unaware of what shows up when you google their company?

      They were aware of it and had been for years before it was shut down, anyone saying otherwise is feeding you PR spin.

        Oh no! I’m not saying spez was unaware of the filthy subreddits, just that he might not have known he was made a mod on them.

        Someone was clearly fucking with him, either for a lark or because they hated him. But no, they were all well aware of shit like /r/jailbait. As you said, they were madly trying to drum up users.

      We look like Reddit because we are filled with disgruntled reddit users.
