> Shu also tells me that RIF was paying a “sizable revenue share” to Reddit beginning in 2012, which was during Yishan Wong’s tenure as CEO. Shu says he says initiated the talks with Reddit to create the agreement, which allowed for the licensed use of Reddit’s trademarks. (At the time, the app was called “reddit is fun.”) Shu says Reddit terminated the agreement in 2016 — which was the year after Huffman took over as CEO.

So, one of the app developers had a pre-existing agreement with reddit, to pay them money, well before this mess (yes, for the trademark, but still), and spez ripped up the agreement? What on earth?

Also, spez, how hard is it to just... you know, not lie? Clearly there was a communication line.
