I mentioned lemmy and got shadowbanned
Haha pathetic. Let’s see if that also works for me.
You would think given the community, they would want to toss at least a dozen staff on this, and have prepared answers to most of the questions.
Spez looks incredibly out of touch with this ama.
It’s an AMABIWAA (Ask Me Anything, But I Won’t Answer Anything)
Just like most high profile AMA’s on reddit. But yeah it’s pretty obvious theres a lot of money to be made here and as a mouthpiece for this company they arent going to give a lot of straight answers. Honestly I’m not sure why theyre even bothering with an AMA instead of just an announcement addressing concerns but they want to keep the reddit image I guess.
That image is dead and buried and has been since the site became one of the biggest on the web but what are you gunna do.
You can tell that he is absolutely furious at the attention that Apollo has gotten.
Yeah he seems incredibly bitter.
He’s answered one question. I imagine that might be all he does. What a shit show - what does he even expect to do
He answered by doubling down on his lies slander and threats to blackmail a guy who literally has tapes of every interaction.
What a fucking tool.
Lol it’s just a written statement, still no answers from spez
Edit: 2 answers regarding accessibility and NSFW content
10 mins in, one answer which has -119 score…
WOW, where is it? I cent even find it
Might be easiest to find any comments on his user page: https://teddit.net/u/spez
The thread is going to be a shitshow.

The irony is that the website is so borked right now that I can only access his profile and comments via the Apollo app…
If he has any lawyers or a wife or anyone who has any investment in reddit getting an IPO they should tackle him and take the keyboard away.
Good lord, he’s got a steam shovel and is gonna break into the mantle from the hole he’s digging.
DIGGing you say?
Digg v5
Almost 20 minutes in, and he’s written 3 responses, each about a paragraph.
I’m guessing it’s not going well.
Answers must be vetted by lawyers.
He’s trying to justify acting like a lying asshole but his ego can’t allow him to admit fault.
He may actually implode.

I love it when idiots stab themselves in the face and set themselves on fire!
So glad I deleted my account yesterday.
Considering doing the same after 14 years of using reddit. End of an era I suppose. I think Lemmy has a ton of potential though.
I’m right there with you. 9+ years of reddit.
You can tell that he is absolutely furious at the attention that Apollo has gotten.
Dude is super bitter.
Mad, mad props to Apollo’s dev for being so transparent about it. Guaranteed they thought they could bully him into staying quiet about it and then closing up shop. He told them to pound sand and controlled the narrative. That man needs to do documentaries or reporting. Meticulous, knew how to talk to a crowd, and not afraid of corporations bullying him.
I think the real answer has to be that he gave them real numbers he expected them to pay. They all said wtf no but he promised similar numbers to his investors from the official channels.
People who are doing better then him (profit wise) at his own game bailed when asked for things he promised to deliver.
This guy is such a weasel, holy shit. He comes off as incredibly bitter.
You just know every comment is being vetted by legal, marketing, and PR. Coward. Can’t say anything without corporate double speak
I’m shocked that any lawyer would say “yeah, go ahead, this AMA is a great idea”
what a shitshow. I just saw his post
