Anyone remember The Button or r/place? That was peak reddit for me since it brought together the entire community. When they stopped doing stuff like that despite the community's love for it is around when I started seeing the writing on the wall that they were ultimately there to make money and couldn't waste engineering hours on "frivolous" community engagement.
I have a hard time not personally blaming this on spez, tbh. After he lied about Apollo's dev's (I don't remember which app) phone conversation then they showed up with the damn recording to prove it wrong.
Like, for real, the conversation was something like
- dev: Or you could just buy me out for $X ha
- spez: Are you threatening us?
- dev: What? No, it was just a joke, because you said it costs $X for my app to hit your server
- spez: oh, okay, I understand you now, I'm sorry.
Later...
- spez: This dev threatened us.
