It's a reference to the last time u/spez was an asshole. Come on! No need to downvote.
To be fair, the downvotes might also be part of the joke. That comment was the most downvoted in Reddit history before EA came along.
And it's not like there's karma on Lemmy so I don't care lol
what a prick
So an ad click costs advertisers ten times as much as an ad view/impression. Trick is that you need to view the landing page and follow at least 1-2 links on the server. If you really want to wreck reddit and raise this a few orders of magnitude higher. Go back to reddit and start clicking ads, follow links and close the page, or even next level, directly type the address of a major competitor to the ad generating company and go to this address next. Then delete your cookies and site data. If just 5% of us did this, it would wreck reddit completely over night.
But yeah keep going back to their site and watch their ads, that'll show them for sure.

My bet is on Covid brainfog. Someone on this level of intelligence wouldn't have created something amazing like Reddit.
Or he's just tired of it now, burnt out and wants to cash in before he leaves.
Wanting to cash in is logical & understandable. Being a complete idiot, getting caught lying and being contradictory in his statements is a sign of a problem. (also what he is doing & has done is lowering the value of his IPO so..)
My jaw dropped reading the verge interview. Insane.
