alt Hacker NewsHuffman should huff less glue, it seems. Unfortunately, ever since the largest Reddit mod strike in history and the infamous "fuck spez" r/place both failed to gain traction or enough of a media stink... he's gone Musk level megalomaniac.
Obligatory fuck u/spez.
While I can't rule out megalomania, I think it can be adequately explained as enshittification from corporate incentives. They corporation has trapped enough users/advertisers that now they want to put the squeeze on and extract some rents.
