Good lord, this interview just solidified my decision to never return to Reddit. It seems Spez doesn’t want me there anyway, despite how much time and money I’ve given them.
I also wish the interviewer had brought up Spez lying and mischaracterizing Christian so blatantly. Just pathetic behavior.
I have to say, The Verge has had its ups and downs over the years, but I have to give them credit here. This interview is gold.
Spez comes across as such a child. Saying Apollo is their competitor and as such, should be shut down lol.
Also that because the announcement posts on different subreddits didnt have comments enabled, that must man the users are tired of the protests. Comparing it to a city that had protests drag on too long. The thing he misses is that cities that have protests usually want a change before they stop protesting.
All in all, he comes across as such a fucking child. And all his c suite associates seem like yes-men chuds that are just enabling his ego and agreeing with his hissy fit over Apollo. Reddit might get over this if they fire him, walk back the changes and actually implement plans that developers and moderators can get behind. But they won’t. Fediverse is the future. Fuck Spez and Fuck Reddit.
Wow, his answers and arguments are really bad. Doesn’t acknowledge that AI scrapers abused their system, not apps to access and interact with Reddit. Practically says they will imitate Apollo. Admits that they unreasonable timeline was a way to coerce deals.
