I'm still not clear what the alleged threat was, that the app would... make API calls? earning reddit money? That Christian would say unfriendly things about the company that screwed him? What threat is an app developer to a corporation? It's just patently absurd.

Weaponizing the community can be pretty powerful.

I love that Christsin had recordings. Can't wait to see how spez's AMA goes.

That AMA is immediately going to turn into ‘The Roast of Spez’ and I’m honestly quite looking forward to it. It won’t change anything since Reddit’s already too far round the ‘enshittification’ U-bend but it might be the last funny thing that’s ever posted there.

The AMA will be heavily moderated. I doubt any staff will let any saucy comments reach the CEO.

He knew things could go ugly. Good thing he made the recordings.
