Even as somebody who has never used, and will likely never need Apollo, I am really grateful for what he did. However unintentionally, I think he ripped the mask off how rotten the management structure was. It's one thing to sell ads and collect hidden metadata. Pretty much all the apps do it. But the whole way Reddit treated him was beyond despicable.

Agreed. When I saw the Apollo thread, my first thought was 'Nah, not even spez would do this' but I choked on that very fast when I saw the e-mails, the audio recordings and everything. It was so blatant, so asinine, so horribly fucked up.

I've never used the Apollo app, but millions of people did and in stead of thanking him for all his work, reddit just stabbed him in the back. Can't believe there are people still taking reddit's side on this, it's crazy.

The AMA where Christian called his bluff was just magical.

It blows my mind that people are actually defending Reddit on this.

[–] R51@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

because they think it's just some dude who profitted off of reddit's goodwill without giving anything back, and now poor ol' reddit just wants to make a couple bucks to pay the bills.

Yeah, essentially taking spez's word for it. Ignoring the fact that before April, Reddit used bend over backwards to help developers. Christian Selig even said nothing but great things about Reddit corporate before they dropped the bomb.

Don't tell me Reddit didn't know people were writing third-party apps.

But we ended up with garbage like this: https://youtu.be/JHDrK2E62SA

I seriously think Reddit is operating a sock puppet scheme to push a narrative. They've done it before, and they've bragged about it to the press.

That is why there are so many baby accounts or long dormant accounts that suddenly came to life in the last couple weeks. This is a company which is coming off a month-long campaign of libeling and slandering its top third party developers, and then gish galloping all over the site after the recordings and emails were published.

Then you have Huffman idolizing Musk, saying he wants to do to Reddit what Musk did to Twitter.

Good third party apps cannot come to Lemmy and Kbin fast enough.
