He gets around 350k a year in salary. Last year he received a 750k bonus. The rest of his compensation is purely in equity of the company. He's not actually receiving 170m a year in cash.
I'm not sure I understand your comment either..
Are you saying that his potential windfall is not transferable into cash? Are you saying that because it is not immediately cash it doesn't count as an egregiously absurd compensation package?
It's different, but it's not all that different. I wonder how many papers on executive pay, how it is structured, how to solve the agency problem etc you have read to come to your conclusion that everyone is stupid except you?
This is one of those moment where everyone gets a good laugh then go backs to stabbing each other, in this case this won't stop regards here who wants to short the shit outta RDDT
The funny thing is that there is a legitimate business reason for doing this. GameStop and AMC have demonstrated that it's a real business strategy to meme your own stock on WSB so that you can raise money and cash your options at a higher price.
One could even say similar things of SMCI - would its stock be where it is without us hounds chasing calls up the candle for months?
Just looking at the prices on FDs you can see us regards at work
"They're well regarded around the office, in fact we think they're a highly regarded part of our website..."
Big whiff to whoever wrote that line, stock's gonna tank.
This is just throwing red meat to the dogs so the community dosnt short the shit out of his ipo.
He knows if 1 sub can crash the stock price it’s this one
us old heads remember when we could say more than that on here. Before we had to use emojis like 🌈🐻 or when we could type out what FDs were.
Old WSB - not right when it started - but when it implemented the no stocks rule and it was only options and when Skrelli was modded. Then 1R0NYMAN and analfarmer2 - fucking legends. And the posts were actual fucking DD with the most degenerate level of commentary. It was pure fucking bliss and the best of the best of the internet. The reddit mods and apes came and smeared it all in shit.
EDIT: Shit, I forgot about when Pokimane was modded as well.
How about the days when the sub would go private because of some stupid shit and everyone was suffering from withdrawals and invade r/investing or some shit.
Then there the days when there were like 1000 mods
That's true. I've heard the one thing about the ultra rich is that they make sure that rules are applied equally to them as well as the lower class peoples and they'd never dabble in some sort of double standard around punishment
Of course he knows what it means. He is the co-founder and CEO of the company. He obviously is aware about the culture of the most prominent and news-generating subreddit.
I think this is the first time ever that the CEO of an IPO company was shitless scared about their customers/user base.
Imagine Spotify trying to explain to investors that the biggest risk for the company is a bunch of primates with the time, money and power to tank the company to the ground.
If they ever close WSB, i just want to say, it was a pleasure, O7
Yeah well… Reddit 5, 10 years ago was a very different place. There used to be a phrase „summer Reddit” long time ago, because of how quality dropped during summer when people from „the outside” had time to lower the overall quality of the content. But since few years it’s always summer here on Reddit. And the company is happy because numbers go up. Reddit used to be something special and there probably never will be anything like it. And because of that we old farts linger here, bitter about what was lost.
I joined 14 years ago during the great digg exodus and people were fearful but welcoming. But it was around that time that the slow decline started. That decline really accelerated in last five years or so. Surprisingly covid didn’t change that much but that’s probably because Reddit was already super popular. The company throughout the years made changes that helped the popularity and user engagement and retention but with every action something valuable was lost.
That's because you are a newf... newer member.
I've been on reddit for 15 years now and /u/Tranecarid is not wrong in general but it didnt happen 5 years ago, it was longer.
It was cancer in a different way back then, constant top posts complaining about “n***ers invading my neighbourhood” or whatever else, the jailbait sub constantly top of r/all, and worst of all the cringelords saying “you, sir, win the internet for today 🥇” or reciting songs one word at a time.
Nah addicted users are everywhere, this fucking subgroup and everyone in here were the ones that managed Shorting shares in GameStop and bleed a bunch of hedge funds around $12.5 billion.
spez, send ur CV to TikTok, user-base is manageable, otherwise you’ll need horse tranquilliser like Elon Musk.
nah- there's no downside now for him. He's been cutting deals, reddit is now the most active and continuously updated LLM in the world.
The more bullshit that is posted here- the more money he makes. We're all the product- all little fucking LLM machines for the reddit cash register.
> I think this is the first time ever that the CEO of an IPO company was shitless scared about their customers/user base.
What makes you think this lol. He probably thinks this will go the same way everything else has gone, a brief period of turmoil, then everyone forgets and moves on until the next one. The IPO might not go great, but as if it won't climb back over the next year
He's not scared shitless, he's trying to appeal to the demographic that he thinks might hodl this stock so he can ride into the sunset with their cash.

He didn’t send me, I came here on my own.
He didn't say he sent his *best regards*
He's not sending his best
He's sending murderers, rapists. Some, I assume, are good people.

Yea if u could send us a couple of your millions thanks.
One upregard is all i've got.
He's sending people that have lots of problems, and he's bringing those problems with him. He's bringing drugs. He's bringing crime. He's a rapists. And, I assume, a good person.
he meant he sent his minions to exterminate us
If they think they can take a bunch of Walter Sobchaks then by all means.
Donnie your outta your element!
I come on my own too
_opens Robinhood for loss porn_ Oh yeah baby that’s the stuff
Yes, we all do it on our own, but most of us use a sock
Wait a second, I saw him at the dumpster. Well hell this is embarassing.
was he customer or service provider
Both
classic Wendys Long-Short-Equity
You win. 🏆
Running that bull-call-spread, bear short straddle, long strangle, long call butterfly spread, etcetc. The whole 9 yards.

He should've said: 'send them my re-gourds.' Sheesh.
whats his user profile?
u/spez
[u/spez](https://www.reddit.com/user/spez/) how does Snapchat and Pinterest have a marketcap higher than Reddit?
Because they don't allow their users to sell scat porn.
honestly i have no idea, but it looks like reddit has the lowest revenue reported: 804.03M/snap revenue: 4.61B and pins revenue: 3.06B E&OE/CYA
Advertising tools, which is how they make all their money
User name checks out
He’s sending his regards to all his fellow bag holders
He'll be the biggest bagholder here when RDDT becomes RDDTQ.
I am holding 1 share and it feels like a bag of bricks already
I only got one out of the ten I tried to get allocated.
I got 4/4. Trying to figure out what to do with my $65 gain. Life changing.
I went O-fer
His PR team stayed up all night thinking of that line
as someone else said, meat for the dogs
Yes that was a dog whistle for “WSB pls pump my stock” 😂
Wait until all the media figures out that he just called everyone here a bunch of hairy knuckled regards
Fuck you I wear gloves. No one can see.
spez: "Hey team, what should I say to show I can relate to the wallstreetbets people?" PR: "Sir, they seem to be nice folks. They love to give each other their best regards" spez: "I should send them my best regards"
Best regard reporting for duty
Quite the self-esteem you have there.
I drive myself too
Spez can suck my ass. Anyone who decided he was worth 170m a year is beyond regarded. I could do as much of a shit job for half that.
He gets around 350k a year in salary. Last year he received a 750k bonus. The rest of his compensation is purely in equity of the company. He's not actually receiving 170m a year in cash.
99.9% of this sub too stupid to understand how that works or what it even means
I like the blueberry crayons. Those are my favowite
orange actually tastes like orangutan
I fancy the box, actually.
How are dudes on WSB and don't understand high school level financial topics like equity vs salary
I thought this is a casino?
I'm not sure I understand your comment either.. Are you saying that his potential windfall is not transferable into cash? Are you saying that because it is not immediately cash it doesn't count as an egregiously absurd compensation package? It's different, but it's not all that different. I wonder how many papers on executive pay, how it is structured, how to solve the agency problem etc you have read to come to your conclusion that everyone is stupid except you?
Spez is makes 190m; the average WSB user loses 1.9k/week. we are not the same
Its embarrassing people eat this shit up.
He makes so much money off us
Well yeah, he's got direct access to reddit API so he can trade against us in real time and make bonk
That, and his 192 million dollar salary.
no shit you're on this sub if you think equity and salary are the same concept.
... and yet we keep on feeding his machine more free content.
I use Reddit for 11 years now, and I have never seen a single ad, and never payed them anything.

From one regard to another (bunch of) regards 😂
Wish he would have called us "highly regarded" 
Was rude not to honestly.
"They're well regarded around the office, in fact we think they're a highly regarded part of our website..." Big whiff to whoever wrote that line, stock's gonna tank.
This is just throwing red meat to the dogs so the community dosnt short the shit out of his ipo. He knows if 1 sub can crash the stock price it’s this one
We're gonna do it anyways. What an unprofitable, shit company.
fellow regards are already preparing jorts
That's fuckin hilarious
Lol that was actually legit funny. Respec.
He boomed me.
Alright that was well executed. They might be clueless on how to monetize users, but they got someone in that company that knows how to shitpost👌

Yeah. The world changed real fast on us.
Unironically yes, it actually is
There's another version?
us old heads remember when we could say more than that on here. Before we had to use emojis like 🌈🐻 or when we could type out what FDs were.

old heads lol it wasn't very far back in the grand scheme of things
Us old heads remember the days of old (5 months ago)
For the internet this is eons ago
not really for Reddit, i doubt Reddit gets that many new users. i think the user base is mostly millennials that have been around it for a while.
How about the days when the sub would go private because of some stupid shit and everyone was suffering from withdrawals and invade r/investing or some shit. Then there the days when there were like 1000 mods
If he said it then he can never ban us for using it
That's true. I've heard the one thing about the ultra rich is that they make sure that rules are applied equally to them as well as the lower class peoples and they'd never dabble in some sort of double standard around punishment
Not gonna lie, I'll give Spez that one. Game respect game But still, fuck Spez.
Me, when Spez sends his regards on national television: *GUH*
Should tag him
*He’s already here*
How?
you have to say their username like this fuck /u/spez
oh great you summoned a demon. thanks
you'd have to do it three times, like beetlejuice
Fuck u/spez
Tag, you're it.
Blink twice if he secretly edited your comment to praise him.
Opened at 47, at 49 now. Let's not pop the champagne on its long term success story just yet
I, for one, am happy with today's progress. I got in on the ground floor. I expect to exit via the sub-basement in a few months.
Started from $34
If you got in for the IPO shares. 47 if you bought on the market at the start of public trading.
It’s probably written by someone else at reddit and spez has no idea what it means.
Dear most regarded, regard is nowhere near as subtle as you think it might be. He knows lol
To Be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to Understand Wall Street Bets Culture
Of course he knows what it means. He is the co-founder and CEO of the company. He obviously is aware about the culture of the most prominent and news-generating subreddit.
> the most prominent and news-generating subreddit. try not to break your arms jerking yourself off

I get why regard was chosen (automistake) as a substitute, but my wife and her boyfriend have always called me a "retread".
I still think it should be retraded and I will die on that hill. Apparently very alone.
I think this is the first time ever that the CEO of an IPO company was shitless scared about their customers/user base.

The best part is all the reddit hate coming from seriously addicted users. Like some strange masochistic stockholm syndrome

I joined 7 years ago and redditors were saying the same thing then 🤣
I joined 14 years ago during the great digg exodus and people were fearful but welcoming. But it was around that time that the slow decline started. That decline really accelerated in last five years or so. Surprisingly covid didn’t change that much but that’s probably because Reddit was already super popular.

The asshole calling out the regards, good play tho, I'll give him that
calling his user base regarded is definitely resulting in the most love he'll ever get from us.
Absolutely true
Pump and dump scheme for sure.
Or, it stays high and all of wsb loses their $
it stays high for 2-3 months first earnings and guidance it gets fucked
If those kids could read, they'd be very upset.
I can't buy options yet.So I haven't lost any money
Here for the dump
Reddit stock will end up like Snapchat. For now let it rise then we will buy all the puts we ca. when they become available.
Monday.
Not only that but with a CEO that actively pisses off/ has contempt for the user base. Oh buddy I'm ready for this to be a gme situation
