I imagine that, when working with reddit for 8+ years, he got a pretty good sense of what their culture is like.

His latest experience seems to be pretty out of line given the longevity of their relationship.

"Naive"? Maybe, but I can cut him some slack.

I would figure that, over those 8+ years, he likely dealt with developer relations and/or reddit's development team directly. The API changes aren't technical as much as they're business, and he's probably dealing with a different group within reddit.

He literally said "they kind of didn’t do the bullshit corporate speak." I've definitely been using reddit for 8+ years and I can tell you that's not true.
