Wow. Dug in and desperate. That's how it reads to me.

I appreciate that he apologized for framing this crisis as he has just let free API's run for years, but he and they are really doing a horrible job of rectifying the community outrage. He didn't answer the question about thr LLM's, which feel like more of the root of the API issue. He's acting like a child in a spat with Christian about Apollo. The deflection is painful to read when it comes to the IPO. Finally the time extension reads like a whine about other companies and his bad decision, rather than an answer why they cannot just incrementally phase this in, or postpone it, or something more tenable.

From https://www.redditinc.com/blog/https-www.redditinc.com-apifacts:

As of now, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open

The 48 hour blackout that was popularized was a complete joke and reminds me of all the corporations that change their social media pictures to pride-themed photos for like 2 days then revert back to not caring at all. Reddit literally did not give two shits about 2 days of ad revenue being gone because they knew it would be back to normal before most people even noticed.

Damn, he really thinks our posts are his. I didn't delete my posts or account for the sake of information and google search but that article changed my mind real quick.
