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.
