Reddit CEO warns employees not to wear Reddit swag in public as users revolt
Reddit CEO Steve Huffman isn't worried about the mass user backlash that shut down huge sections of the social media site — but he is warning employees to be careful wearing branded swag in public,In an internal memo obtained by The Verge, Huffman told employees to"please be mindful" of wearing Reddit gear.
The developer of Apollo, a hugely popular third-party app, said the changes would cost them millions and force them to shut down. Users have threatened to abandon the site. The loss of third-party apps would force users onto the official Reddit app, where they'd have to deal with advertisements."There's a lot of noise with this one. Among the noisiest we've seen," he said, according to The Verge."Please know that our teams are on it, and like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.
