I left a couple of months ago. Couldn't be happier.

The writing is on the wall. The leader thinks the Genius-with-hair-transplants is a superstar, despite destroying a globally recognised brand. Inspired by this, Spez is trying to get Reddit ready for an IPO. This means, maximise profits by any means.

Ars and Reddit are under the same parent company, conde nast or however that's all structured. I also have noticed ars seems to write very frequently about Reddit, even if it is usually in a critical light.

I get mixed feelings about articles like this one.

They've been separate for more than a decade now

No they got bought back a few years later. They're majority owned by the same parent company as Ars. Tencent also has some pretty big investments in Reddit.

It's at the bottom of the article:

Advance Publications, which owns Ars Technica parent Condé Nast, is the largest shareholder in Reddit.
