I can't find the article where he mentions that it is a scam, i also remember people attacking the patreon backers
This tweet seems to be an apology so i guess we can move on
EDIT: there i found it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20230351 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20230351
- gompertz 4y agoDon't think was an apology. I find it dubious Zigs README on GitHub reads "never to exploit them financially". What a weird comment... Notwithstanding the whole readme comes off like a weird socialist manifesto. V seeking (and receiving) Patreon or GitHub donations is not exploiting anyone. Neither mechanism is a contract. Either can be cancelled anytime, immediately. So like it or not, the sponsorship is a pretty accurate reflection of satisfied people (unless one is simply too lazy to cancel their pledge...).
- amedvednikov 4y agoYes, that's also the vibe I got.
- Shadonototra 4y agoYeah you are right, i might have misread his tweet, after reading it again, it sounds like he knows he fucked up and is trying to save the face
