I suppose it was around then yeah, I just remember being amazed at how fast the whole site turned on her, then I realized how easy it must be to astroturf reddit. It was under the guise of free speech, but the changes she made/were making were positive for the health of the site. The whole idea that free speech = I can say whatever the hell I want to at any time and you just have to accept it was/is bullshit, we live in a society dammit. /george

Right I remember how Reddit ran Ellen Pao off as if she was the wicked witch of the west.

Yeah right I remember the good old wholesome days of jailbait.

Sounds great in theory, but I feel like the minute one of those places becomes a viable alternative it will be sold for a pile of cash.

I guess everyone else is just royally fucked then? This is bonkers, a million dollars is still a fucking lot of money. If you’re spending 3/4 of it on a house and 1/10 on a car then maybe not so much yeah.

As if the legal profession wasn’t enough of a joke already, they had him on the fucking phone, should have been open and shut.
