They successfully navigated a system that was more likely than not highly stacked in their favor thanks to their rich family and the other people like them that they know. They then horde all the wealth while other people who can’t get their teeth fixed or decent medical treatment applaud them from the slums. It’s pretty depressing how this is all considered normal thanks to right-wing influence on social media.
People aren’t smart because they stumbled into a handful of zeros. Everyone blows Musk but he was just born into blood diamond money. He didn’t actually do anything. Neither did Spez, he just makes money off other people’s content.
Strip all these CEOs of their extra zeros, strip them of their user generated content, then ask them to rebuild their wealth by actually providing a good or service and watch them flop.
See, that’s the thing. I’m not a fan of Musk or Spez, and I never claimed to be.
Ultimately I think Elon Musk gets a ludicrous amount of attention.
My whole point was that (a) it seems like Spez doesn’t care, which really begs the question of how much energy this is worth investing in and (b) people in his position often get what they want (money) because they have to deal with this exact kind of situation.
If Reddit dies, it dies, and I’ll consider myself wrong. If Spez totally gets owned and loses, great!
Either way, I think it’s ok to move on.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if they expected this reaction.
Anyway, Lemmy is fine; it’s a nice alternative. I’d rather just let Reddit go in whatever direction it ends up going in than keep getting angry about it.
I’m glad that there is an alternative. Maybe we can try and learn from Reddit and do what we can to prevent Lemmy from going in that direction, yeah?
God I’m so tired of seeing people equate being rich with not being a fucking moron.
Right-wing brainrot, the rich have to be successful, otherwise why were they licking those boots?

One word: Trump.
God, I’m so tired of seeing people deduce false conclusions from statements they don’t want to hear.
Fuck off, Steve
Lol. I’m literally on your side bro.
Ok, I understand. You’re dim.
Fair enough.
