Can anyone explain the whole "Spez" thing with reddit?

I have been reading about this man or woman forever. Is this the person that came up with the whole reddit idea?

He's a loser who helped found reddit and can't figure out how to monetize it without sacrificing everything it stood for

Steve Huffman, one of the co-founders of reddit. Spez is his username. What other questions do you have?

thanks for the reply. Now I understand the spez reference. Funny user name. Wonder how he came up with that

Nice try Steve.

Remember that time I discovered a major bug in Reddit that I reported dozens of times to the site's feedback form and directly to your user account but I never got a response about and it never got fixed (until I used the exploit in a way that directly affected you)? Well, if that rings a bell, then guess what? It's me again. Toodles.

You feel better learning about the slimy fuck? I feel dirty each time his name is mentioned.
