The changes that lead to the protest were only the preparations for an IPO. When that sale actually happens, I think things will get even worse with new corporate interests and influence. This story isn't over.
it happens to every sacred tech company once it inevitably decides to become profitable
When it comes out how many hundreds of millions spez made of the back of unpaid mods, they'll rightfully ask themselves why they're doing all that free work just to make spez rich.
