So... Spez lied again. Please raise your hand if you're surprised?

Also they had a revenue sharing agreement that Reddit terminated in 2016 after Spez became CEO again?

That part is easy to understand, RIF licensed the Reddit name and logo and called itself "Reddit Is Fun", then Reddit bought AlienBlue, made it their own app, and didn't want to license the name to Reddit Is Fun anymore.
