    So RIF was paying a revenue share from 2012-2016 (Reddit ended the contract when spez took control). It’s clearly not about the money. It’s about the data, controlling the experience, and knowing what you are looking at.

    Is this a surprise after it turns out spez was gaslighting the Apollo dev, and the Apollo dev had recordings to prove it?

    Guy seems like an idiot. Is he trying to get the VCs to not want the IPO? And he is praising elon about running a company into the ground.

      I still don’t understand how, but there’s loads of people who think that Musk is doing an amazing job and should be emulated in all situations. I’ve mostly seen it in other narcissists but this guy might also just be a simp.

      I think he’s that out of touch he thinks he’s doing a good job at … Whatever this is. Must be surrounded by yes men that have enabled him so far, cause I’m shocked the board hasn’t removed him yet. This has been a PR disaster

      There’s just something about the term “butthole” instead of the harsher “asshole” that really drives a point home.

    Honestly, this idiot just doesn’t make sense. I know that he’s looking to increase revenue by any means but all his actions are making sure this quarter will be their worst in a while. I’d be surprised if he’s not fired very soon.

    Goddamn, that boy couldn’t dig a hole faster even if he was teleported to the center of the earth by pure magic.

    I just don’t understand the purpose of this guy’s interview tour and insistence on trying to make the developers the villain. It would simply be better for the brand if he said absolutely nothing.

    I’d say the dude has to be on a bender at this point, but what’s he really have to lose by lying about this?

    It’s not like we all thought he was a pillar of moral fortitude or something.
