Apollo was already a nice app so why didn't reddit just buy apollo and integrate ads into it and just keep the features that made everyone happy.

Spez is running a kingdom and sometimes the king goes mad and does dumb shit to establish authority. This episode felt like that, especially with how they talked down to the dev about it being unoptimised or some crap.

I think what we are doing right now is what‘s back then been called a "secessio plebis". During the secessio plebis, the plebs would abandon the city en masse in a protest emigration and leave the patrician order to themselves. Though in our case more than enough stay back for spez to lord over them, but I‘m enjoying the vibe here a lot more.
