Huffman argued this week that Reddit is a business, telling NPR “it’s time we grow up and behave like an adult company.”

First sign to be a grown up company is to tackle major changes with an appropiate timeline and get feedback from the community that helped you get where you are now. Also, if you really want to kill 3rd party apps, be transparent and say it instead of setting ridicule high prices and pretending those are market numbers.

Huffman has also said that the protests have had little impact on the company financially.

Yet there he is, forcing subreddits to reopen and giving interviews to major tech outlets daily.

What a clown.
