I hope Spez gets explosive diarrhea every day for the rest of his life.

And if for some weird reason he is into that, then I hope he gets concrete constipation every day for the rest of his life instead.

Concrete constipation would be a very short life.

As a bearer of IBS, this is evil. I like it.

"the users are not in support of [the blackout]"

Mr. Huffman is stretching in a variety of directions here. Reddit is not a feudal government, or a city in any sense; neither is it ultimately “democratic,” as he frequently suggests. It’s an advertising and subscription-supported web service that also depends on free content and unpaid labor from its users. It is, substantially, in the same business as Meta, YouTube, Twitter, and TikTok — giving people something to use mostly for free in exchange for their monetizable time and attention.

I really appreciated this callout in the article.

Lucky it wouldn't be James Corden on r/pics.

I'm enjoying learning about the alternatives though.
