Here we go, the AMA with /u/spez is live
See that "A:"?. He edited it out of his comment. Copying / pasting canned "answers".
The “AMA” has ended, with a handful of responses and not really answering anything.
They just don’t care.
About what everyone expected, tbh. I hope it bites Reddit in the ass if they end up shooting for an IPO.
And that they're indeed in violation of the ADA, as someone brought up. Hopefully someone somewhere raises hell with that.
They did walked back the stuff at least for accessibility apps. Legal must have told them to walk it back because of the ADA. But that was announced a few days before spez's AMA.
Complete non-answers through and through, with a side of throwing as much shade at /u/iamthatis as possible without explicitly naming him. I bet legal has had a chat with him about that particular issue.
If you'd like to view the responses spez is giving, here's a direct link to his profile: https://www.reddit.com/user/spez/comments/.
Needless to say, he's throwing the Apollo dev under the bus again and is avoiding basically any notion that Reddit might be at fault. Shock to no one.
Gotta say, if Reddit is really gearing up for an IPO this feels like the kind of behavior investors would be really suspicious of. Especially since Christian (Apollo dev) was well within his rights as a Canadian to record the conversation, and release it as evidence that he's being slandered and nothing spez is saying can be trusted.
Can't wait to see how potential investors in a public company would handle him as CEO. Have a gut feeling he'd get ousted before long because he's clearly incapable of talking to legal and shutting up.
Bust out your bingo card and let's find out how many spaces spez fills. Blackout, anyone?
@crashdoom ok so. There was an insightful comment somewhere in there which pointed out that the thread is probably going to be used by Reddit as evidence in a possible future investors vs Reddit lawsuit, where they'll say "we tried our best, but the users were hostile and unreasonable!"
Should have been an AITA and not an AMA.
exciting
From what I gather it was 14 copy / paste answer, most of which targeted the creator of the Apollo app.
