I hadn't heard about how people are crucifying him for donating to an organization that was vaguely pro-Trump (which speaks to how bad SV is, not Palmer), but prior to that, the announcement of CV1 really hurt his reputation in the community. It was everything he said it wouldn't be, and very little he said it would be. Since he's active on Reddit, people went through his comment history and found all the occasions he made comments that the CV1 would be something it wasn't, or wouldn't be something it was, and confronted him. He basically said "things change" and everyone was very mad at him. He responded to a few things like a typical reddit user which is never good damage control when reddit is having a meltdown over your conduct. People were also very upset about the Facebook buyout, which I remember hearing took the Oculus execs by surprise. Palmer has not been popular with the community as Oculus has transitioned from a Kickstarter project to a grown-up company that got acquired for $2B. I personally think people are way too harsh on him, and that their expectations were unrealistic.
