As more and more articles and interviews come out about spez and how he’s inspired by how Musk running Twitter, I genuinely can’t believe he’s this stupid. Anyone else think that we could see a repeat of what happened with Ellen Pao when all the gate subreddits were banned? All of these quotes from Spez are coming out, and the hate over the changes is directed at him, and blamed on him almost more than on all the admins, or the board. “Fuck spez” has become the slogan for opposing the changes at this point.
I won’t be surprised if the board removes him at the 11th hour, and reduces the api costs to a level that the biggest apps (Apollo, RIF) will be able to keep operating, but may not allow for new apps to compete.
Anyone else think we could see it blow over like this?
I think these rich guys are exactly as dumb as they seem. I think wealth has absolutely zero to do with intellect. I think people continually attribute these ‘4d chess’ moves to these guys, or claim they are victims of ‘shadowy cabals’ because they can’t accept that people with so much power can really be that simple, greedy, and dangerous.
