/r/EvilGenius was a labour of love, and /u/Spez shat in it. Fuck reddit, and fuck Steve Huffman. en (reddit.com)

U/darkdemon42 Architect of r/evilgenius vents when admins coerce him into reopening the sub.

“Imagine a billionaire asked you to build the new swimming pool in his summer house. He promised that you if you did a really good job, he’d let you swim in it for free. That’s sounds like a great deal, only you have no idea how to build a swimming pool. So you spend years figuring it out. You learn what you can, and get tradies in to fill in the gaps. Then, after nine long years of work the homeowner comes to you and says that he’s actually going to sell the summer house, and that deal where you can use the pool? Yeah not any more. But the new owners might let you look at it! Through the fence. Oh and also he doesn’t like the tradies, so they’re going to need to go. But it’s alright, because his trust fund nepo kid is going to help instead.

You can either take it with a shit eating grin and get it finished, or you can say “fuck you”, and punch a hole in the wall of the pool, preventing the arsehole from profting off all your work. Which would you choose?”
