> Why is he beating around the bush so much ? He is asking for clarification, something you do when you have a good business relationship with someone. > He wants to sell, shut down, or whatever for a $10M payout. He doesn't. He is saying that 20$M is clearly overpriced and that if it was true then reddit would come up with a ludricous number like 10M to make that API be turned off. He just uses quiet because reddit described the API use as Loud. It's not an offer, it's calling someone's bluff out. Think in poker someone says "my hand is worth 20 million" and you got pretty good cards you would tell them "go all in because I am gonna keep covering whatever you raise" and then they do not go All In, you got a pretty good case to think their initial comment was not true.
