Where is the incompetence? His competency is dependent on making money for a specific few.

It has nothing to do with the outcome of the site, beyond how that outcome influences said making of money.

If the shareholders cash out happy and the site dies out, he did his job, regardless of whether or not you think that's fair.

Yes, it sucks for the rest of us who liked Reddit. I am one of those people.

Saying this guy is incompetent just because his interests go against the interests of people who use Reddit is ludicrous.

The interests are in conflict, it sucks. That's it. We have Lemmy. Get over it.

I would say that he is still incompetent after that, public image is important in the long term, and he completely ruined that.

He would have made far more by preserving it.

It's not important if the shareholders can net a specific amount in the short term that makes them happy.

He would have made far more by preserving it.

Well, that's the thing. I'm saying as long as he meets a threshold that makes the shareholders/investors happy, then he's competent.

Besides, the "public image" of the website has always been mediocre.

You're basically saying he's not incompetent if he finds a new bag holder.

I disagree. I think spez is trying his best. He isn't simply trying to find a bag holder to dump reddit on.
