This seems to be a case of start with a horrible plan that they know will make everyone angry only to roll it back to a plan that still sucks but isn't quite as bad to try to reduce the sting. The thing is, I don't think their customers are that stupid.

I hear this accusation a lot, but how many times does it work out for the company? Maybe the second plan doesn’t get any press and that’s proving your point?

Worked with reddit when they hired Ellen Pao as a scape goat to implement harse changes then they rolled it back after to what they wanted

I don’t remember what they were trying to change, what they ended up concluding with and what it was like originally.

Maybe? I don't recall ever doing anything about it back then. I stopped using it now because I can't use Apollo and interacting with Reddit on mobile now sucks.
