Sure, don't disagree. But then you should at least pay (and treat) them fairly.

Employees are also not allowed to discuss their salaries with each other, their employee handbook was leaked earlier this year by a disgruntled ex employee and is out there.
Them being strict about stopping employees from "competing" is also something they talked about openly in the past. (And there were also some shots fired by ex employees.)
Being pro unions... unless it is in his own companies.
Warranty on products... unless it's his own products.
His employees are seemingly pretty underpaid too and that while having some of the strictest rules around letting them build their own online presence of "youtube / new media companies" out there. Tbf, on the last point, I'm not sure if he ever criticized other companies for underpaying their employees in the past.
And I'm not alone either, looking at Reddit & Discord in the past.
Made me also switch away again recently. Would love to see them focus more on that instead of all those gimmicks. (Actually expected that before seeing them ship 1.0.)
Also, the way they handle extensions and especially the recent changes getting rid of the extension bar top right are/were also not great.
how so? there are more than enough moderators left who have no issue with reddit's current behaviour and will continue modding for free.
Which is the same spez bets on in the API / 3rd party app situation, which is kind of funny :)
This might be a better link. Title maybe should also be changed because they'll delete sfw content that is not tied to user accounts too.
Quite some internet history that's going to get nuked next month.
If so I think it just prefers to show you if it is also optimized for iPad usage, because the usage on a mac would be closer to that.
But, I guess, one way to make money currently.
I did not get Half-Life 3 yet.
But on a serious note, we don't know how successful they actually are. They are a private company. Concurrent players & logged in users growing, with more and more gamers around the world and covid as a catalyst over the last years is probably not a good sole indicator. Those are growing for everybody, just compare them to Roblox alone.
I'd say maybe a better one could be pretty much every publisher returning or rumoured to return soon - but that could also just mean better deals for them and Valve also not making more money.
Besides that, doesn't seem all sunshine at Valve either. There were reports of a hostile work environment in the past, among other things supposedly due to the ego-fuelling bonus structure.
When Alyx arrived GabeN talked about how they'll ship two more big VR titles soon-ish, which didn't happen and which supposedly are at least on hold. We at least know that they currently work on a non-vr game called Neon Prime right now and that might or might not ship soon.
The Dota 2 and especially the CSGO community wishes for more communication and updates for their games. The Source 2 update for CSGO has more people coping now than HL3.
They let games like Artifact and Underlords just die. Especially Artifact, with being a buy-to-play title where you additionally had to buy the cards for additional real money, had quite some controversies around the game and how Valve handled everything.
At least in CSGO the esports scene is also not happy either with how Valve ignores and handles cheat & fraud cases half-assed. Their own anti-cheat in CSGO is also still shit.

Seems down for a couple of minutes now.
Webmail, App & IMAP are all dead.
https://www.fastmailstatus.com/ does not show anything yet.
But even besides that, if you look at any time this situation happened in the last ~3 years, you'll always see more users being vocal about the preferring the official sub than the community one in comparison.
Reddit's demographics changed, and it just exploded over the last couple of years with "casual users", "went mainstream" or what ever one wants to call it.
Most users these days don't even know that "official subreddits" were something that was super unpopular and uncommon on Reddit.
Those don't exist. There is something called the "Reddiquette" which is by the community and completely informal.
Subreddits owned by companies is the new normal and if you look at games, most reddit users these days even prefer it to community-run ones. Not uncommon to have two subreddits at a launch of a game and the unofficial one will always "lose".
Besides that, Reddit itself reaches out to brands & product owners and influencers to make official subs for them, managed by those entities then.
Subreddits are the new Facebook Groups and Reddit is completely "mainstream". I wonder what's next in a couple of years. Maybe we can go back to forums :)

One of the reasons why they launched and bought studios for exclusive content. Which they then shut down early, only a bit over a year after launch of Stadia (?).
Edit: Shouldn't have posted that, seems like they still have some issues.
Tobi removed all the NFT stuff from his Twitter profile and didn't tweet much about it for months now, after being pretty vocal about it until earlier this year.
Would love to hear his real thoughts on it and why he/they even (seemingly) invested so much into it. One of the few things I never got about Tobi / Shopify. Just seemed so late and weird to be so bullish there. Don't think he's the kind of person to push it just for personal gain, nor that he'd have to, but ...
With Bunny you'd be at what, not even a $100.
No idea though if Tumblr had the same option back then.
