I think they’ve painted themselves into a corner and can’t back down now. Backing down would show that they can’t manage the damn site and no one would seriously consider investing in an unstable platform. So they have to either strongman it or wait it out. I genuinely want people to just move off of it altogether, whether or not spez agrees to some sort of compromise. There was so much awfulness coming from spez last week, that the API debacle feels like it was eons ago. There’s a strong argument to be made about loss of trust in management: spez talking shit about mods that do the heavy lifting for free, admins lying to anyone and everyone just to get what they want, forcing mods out, pitting people against each other, spez’s sole goal of profiting from “the data” and yapping about the damn IPO. It’s so awful any way you look at it.
