Definitely not the appropriate term to use, but it's undeniable that investors' pressure to deliver profits can be a very strong driving force influencing executive decisions and sometimes not for the best.

I prefer vulture capitalists.
I know a few VC guys. It’s not all of them, but it’s enough that it’s definitely an earned sobriquet

They banned me for life so they can **** off. Reddit is a cesspool anyway.

Attached: 1 image Reddit’s CEO, who claimed to want to emulate Musk, is doing an absolutely smashing job. He forced some subreddits to open again, but of course he can’t force people to post what he wants. r/steam users are now only posting articles about hot water vapor. r/pics users are...

Water vapor.
Gold.
Lol, the irony. Have you really never been banned & muted by subreddit because you disagreed with a certain topic? Yeah, Reddit is a cesspool of ultra authoritarian people. I say it’s worth the popcorn time.
Of course you have to return on an investment
But sitting there preaching about it from some obscure social network that is funded by Patreon (itself funded by a boatload of VC cash) is just laughable.
Real businesses can't run on handouts.
Once again, the creator of the Apollo app smacks down the CEO's lies:
I did not say he was attempting to blackmail, only to obtain $10 million because anyone would. I would agree with what you are saying, had I not heard the recording, yes he released it, but I hear the pause, the tone of his voice. As someone who deals with people everyday admittedly not at such a level , my gut says he wanted the 10 million. It's all to do with the tone of his voice, the nervous laugh, the awkward pause. Nobody is condemning the man, I love Apollo, I am no fan of Reddit, but we should not delude ourselves, its just business. It's just my opinion.
All this blackout stuff is typical of the modern world, it is an empty vessel. Do something real! Delete your accounts, walk away from the site, if you feel so strongly on the matter. Else accept the new terms and conditions and move on. The numbers are too small to cause any kind of significant reaction, Reddit has the power.

Technically users can now. The first Orville SR I joined had horrid mods. Someone made a new one, and 90% of the users migrated, and numbers for the first plummeted
Like it better here because I recognize the same users. Never on Reddit would I be like, "Cool, it's u/soandso again!"
