I agree. This is absurd. A reddit clone is a few hours work. The technology is not the difficult part, and they haven't even done it?

Anyway the idea as a whole is stupid, because the problem with reddit is not its CEO but its entire design. It was an interesting idea, but it has failed. People are upset because third party mobile apps will be gone, but the site as a whole was far better before the influx of phoneposters anyway! Phoneposting is fundamentally incompatible with text beyond a couple of sentences. Phoneposters want - and get - short, easily consumed memes, photos, and videos.e They post short, easily consumed, low-value comments. Phoneposters have turned reddit from "the front page of the internet" into a site dominated by screenshots of tweets.
