A transcript for those who prefer to read. (using flixier so forgive the lack of speaker indication and the few corrections I made.)

Transcription:

[redd]it is very unhappy that people are talking to us.

They have decided that their official position is that they will wait for us to make mistakes and then issue corrections in order to discredit our journalism.

That's straight up what they're doing.

I know this is what they're doing because we have a statement because they told us.

They told us Tim Rami, who runs coms at Reddit. This is the blanket statement will no longer comment on hearsay.

Unsubstantiated claims or baseless accusations from the verge will be in touch as corrections are needed.

Oh, my God.

I've been playing this game a long time.

We'll wait for you to make a mistake.

So then we can correct you and say your reporting was wrong is the oldest trick in the book and we are just not gonna fall for it.

So we're just gonna print this statement in every story from here on out, like that's the way it's gonna go.

If they want us to get it right they can... They can tell us what is actually happening, but I will come back to we're gonna take the people on the ground.

We're gonna take the users.

We're gonna take the moderators.

We're gonna take the employees every time.

And if you think they're wrong, you can tell us and you can explain why they're wrong.

But we're not gonna stop because you've you're running like a 1920 press playbook.

Like whatever.

Like I'm we're just gonna burn you every time and that it's that attitude.

It's this aggressive posture where people are worried and they're coming to reporters and saying,

Here are our worries.

Here's the communication we have received that makes us feel threatened.

And Reddit's response is Shut up.

That's what breaks your community.
