Accusations of greed are funny things.
The #Reddit drama follows an all too common pattern where people are accusing others of greed because they want something the other has.
Yeah, Reddit is so greedy for charging for providing its service, but *I demand their resources.*
It's not exactly taking a high road to describe someone as greedy while claiming those resources for oneself.
@volkris as a longtime reddit user - it's much more the fact that the team provides a platform for wholly user-generated & moderated content, and has shown that they are not listening to said users in any meaningful way - eroding trust in them as a platform for that content.
The content creators & moderators are the most likely to jump ship, and that leaves reddit with no product worth selling. The dissatisfaction with their offering has been there for some time, just needed a push to leave.
Sure that all makes sense.
My point is specifically about this argument, that comes up in far more places than just Reddit, that involves calling someone greedy while demanding their resources.
It's a much sounder argument to simply stick with the company not providing good service or listening to its users.
