I feel bad for spez at this point. We obviously are seeing what he deems as the boards request of him. We have no idea what he really feels about everything going on
Secondly, people aren't necessarily mad about him charging for the API. In my experience, most users want Reddit to succeed financially. He could have easily figured out a way to roll this out in a better way.
People are mad he's been caught lying multiple times and has at this point decided to declare war on the thousands of people (the mods) who do free work for him, in order to pit users against the mods.
"My bank balance is going to look so good once we finally IPO", probably.
Even though he’s a cofounder, his current position is like the one of a non founder ceo in a post-exit company
It's not like he was brought on 18 months ago just to get the IPO done.
Sure
I'll give it a shot!
Do you realize how tone deaf that sounds?
Idk he's made his views quite clear at this point. Although he may edit them and everyone else's comments again.
