The developer of Apollo is clearly asking for money. Even in the thread he made today he wrote "Why doesn't Reddit just buy Apollo and other third-party apps?" and then linked to a comment saying Apollo should ask for 100 million dollars. His ask for 10 million dollars wasn't a joke. He is thinking that while reddit is mad, he can get the money just to go away.
- Arkhaine_kupo 3y agoHow can you say this, when the phone call is right there. You can listen to it yourself that is not what is being said. So much so that the Reddit person on the call apologises up to 4 times. Would you apologise once, much less 4 times if you where being blackmailed? Like this is just denial of reality, you have the phone call, we all do, what kind of nonsense attempt of gaslighting is this?
- calf 3y agoIt's a good example of poor reading comprehension. The actual question is "If reddit wants to charge 20M, then why not buy out the app?". It's a valid hypothetical question and a valid possible business outcome. There's nothing threatening about asking that as a hypothetical, that many other redditors have been asking as well. The point of meetings is to address such concerns.
