      I’ll admit I had no idea what it meant, but after reading that comparison to land owners, I was like yeah no that doesn’t make any fuckin sense. Mods make literally no money for their labor.

    I literally smiled and said wtf as I read this headline. The article really makes him sound like a tool that doesn’t appreciate what he has.

    This dude keeps giving these absolutely batshit pull quotes to reporters and then his other executives whine about reporters not focusing on the parts they like, it’s like corporate PR 101 shit

    Like he whinges about “needing to be an adult company” but like the first rule is to not lose your cool with the reporters lol
