I have a feeling like he is being squeezed by the investors. It feels like they want a tiktok/Instagram clone and he is the one that has to tell the Reddit community.

I don't think this was his vision for the site or he would have done it years ago.

Like it doesn't make it less shitty but more understandable I guess?

I think the AMA was to slander the Apollo Dev and make him seem unreasonable. The 1$ per user and month line suggests this to me. Christian just pre-empted it with his post but since they had already made the announcement there was no going back now.

My reaction to the AMA was "...but he's lying! How did he think that would end?!"

If the Relay for Reddit dev thinks he can do it for $3/month, maybe spez has a point? Please let me know where I'm going wrong with this line of reasoning
