The blatant astroturfing is what really icked me out. From day one of the API changes, it was clear that Reddit had spun up the spin machine and had begun to misrepresent the issues.
The main one was how they tried to push the “they just want the API for free”, “we’re entitled to charge for our services” narrative.
He also continues to stick the boot into Spez and Reddit to this day.
Nobody in the real world cares about this though. The only context in which this pyramid has has any veracity is in the extremely rare case where you have a group of people who are interested in useful outcome.
Generally, people argue for the appearance of having won, so will resort to any and all measures regardless of their argumentative quality. In fact, the lower below the belt you can go, the more you will resonate with the layman.
