MODERATORS
It was created by Violentacrez, not spez.
Prior to late 2012, it was possible to make someone a moderator of a subreddit without their consent, which was sometimes done as a joke or harassment. That's why spez was briefly a moderator of r/jailbait.
Fair point! But he still created a website that allowed that kind of content and is a POS human that deserves what he gets.
I must also point out that he did not work at Reddit between 2009 and 2015.
I'm not going to try to talk you out of hating spez, but maybe try hating him for something he actually did.
Not sure what that timeframe has to do with anything. I hate him for his role in reddit.
reddit was created in 2005, so (and please forgive the rounding errors i do not like mathing before coffee OH CRAP) spez worked there for four years, then took six years off, then worked there again? whatever that means.
I know that. Not sure why you guys think that's relevant. He still created reddit and manages it now.
i was answering your question, sorry.
Gotcha. To me it sounds like you guys are trying to refute an allegation I'm not making. (that he was involved with epstein)
wtf are you on dude
Ah there we go.
This is why I didn't assume you're responding in good faith lol
