This could have been something that reddit pitched successfully to the site at the time - they could have acknowledged that folks don’t like ads and made a point of framing advertisers as entities choosing to support reddit and keep it free & functional - Reddit likes supporting “it’s own”. They could have facilitated and supported connections between advertisers and targeted communities in ways that bypass Reddit’s hostility towards ads and appeals to advertisers. Instead they just started serving ads.

And they didn't just start serving ads, they started serving ads like the HeGetsUs campaign that were so poorly targeted that the community they'd built absolutely hated them.

Libel of this nature must not stand. They're blood emeralds.

Really depends what you use it for. Being able to make a good beef chili on a weeknight is fantastic, but people certainly try to use them for things that aren't meant for pressure cooking.

I wouldn't rely on a strategy that requires cops to read.

One year in jail for raping a 5 year old.

This just makes me think of Kleiman v. Wright, where Craig Wright (among many, many other shenanigans) claimed that a printout of an email wasn't an email, it was a piece of paper. That didn't end up going the way he wanted.

Not even "are poor", just "aren't rich." Immigrating is expensive, both in actual costs and in loss of stability.

There's no stock or similar security, so the SEC doesn't care at all. Could be a plausible deniability thing, I just think it's more likely that he really is that dumb, given the stories about Tesla/SpaceX having teams that basically existed just to control him.

I'm torn on the mugshot. On the one hand, I agree with your general point. On the other hand, he'll just use a mugshot to bilk money out of his marks. But on the gripping hand, last time they just photoshopped a mugshot, so does it really matter if he has a real one?

There's no stock to tank. You could argue that he's trying to tank the company, but there are easier ways to do that.
