> spez / reddit ceo is a mod on r/programming

How is it possible that these companies are still run like an immature dorm room shitshow? Are there no separation of duties? The CEO should not have admin access to anything (the very least for security purposes).

spez even infamously abused his admin access to edit another posters comment a while back.

Calling it a dorm room shitshow is an insult to dorm rooms everywhere.

He was correct to do this, because it was funny. Any true longtime forum poster would recognize this. (Conversely, if it wasn't funny, he should've done it differently.)

Although doing Lowtax things may lead to turning into Lowtax, which is probably bad.

I can certainly tell you it's not a serious problem, because it'd be illegal if it was. All serious problems with websites are revenue issues or legal issues.

I guess you brought it right to the point: Reddit has never grown to a company it’s „dorm room shitshow“

Recently I read Reddit has over 2000 employees. I can’t begin to imagine what they possibly do.

Isn't "reddit isn't a real company, it's a dorm room shitshow" supposed to be the appeal of reddit? A 'real company' wouldn't have a free-for-all API to allow third parties to leach their ad revenue.
