> We don’t have to meet our deadline. We told folks hey, we need to come up with a plan, or we’re going to start billing you on July 1st. I don't understand why he keeps doing these interviews, he's just terrible at responding to completely predictable, reasonable questions.

I can't believe he's the CEO of a company as big as Reddit. After being pressed for why the 3P apps have 1 month to figure out a plan, he is visibly angry and keeps saying "we've been supporting them for 10 years!" which only makes the company look incompetent for not warning sooner if July 1st is some hard deadline. Then saying "those 3p devs [Apollo] don't want to work with us" with no hint of irony. Dude, obviously Apollo can't suddenly start getting billed for $1m/month with no time to change the codebase to see what they can optimize.

    The people in WallStreetBets have been waiting for the chance to short reddit on day one. They have their fingers on the trigger.

        The wildest part is people are willing to lose a lot of money to watch it's stock plummet.

  It's so disingenuous too. Basically calling app developers freeloaders. The reality is that Reddit just didn't charge them. If someone hands you a cookie for free every day for 10 years is it fair to call you a freeloader? You didn't steal the cookies -- they literally wrapped them up and handed them to you every day. How horrible it is that you ate all those cookies without paying!

One of the most dislikable CEOs I can think of. He's clearly tilted from one guy making a better product than 2000 people under his leadership. How embarrassing it must be for everyone.
