Before I switched over here and this situation started getting big, I saw a post over on Reddit that explained how the "official" Reddit app was actually a third party app that they bought out...
Yup. They bought Alien Blue, swapped the logo colour to orange, made it the official logo and called it a day.
This is not true. They also stripped out a shit ton of functionality.
I was using Boost for Reddit, and I was always overwhelmed by the customization options. Absolutely loved it though.
The official app was a third party app until Reddit bought it.
Was never designed for mobile either, hence why third party apps popped up
No point in getting mad anymore. Dumb-dumb's already said he'll be profit driven until he gets money. This just proves it's at the expense of the users. Reddit's just going to get worse.
I swear to God if someone gave me reddit and said, "make this thing profitable," I really don't think it'd be as hard as he seems to think it is.
This guy will dig a deeper and deeper hole for himself it seems.
I think you mean Digg
Ha ha... Someone internally really needs to be like "dude, seriously shut up at this point you're just making it worse" .
There is nothing more amusing than someone with an enormouse ego making a complete cluster fuck of a situation.
Same talking points from the AMA. Nothing new here. He's just a mouth piece. The other interview with the Apollo dev was more interesting. The verge says more of the interview is coming but I can't see why they held back except that it probably doesn't have much either and they just want more clicks.
They really don't have a better mouth piece than this guy?
