Spez clearly doesn't get enough oxygen in his little prepper bunker aka his mum's basement.

Anyone watch Righteous Gemstones? I see his face and assume it's a thread about BJ. Then imagine him rollerblading to keep swol.

Spez just waiting for his IPO $$$ then he’ll be out

Honestly no, Reddit was right to question because the dev was very unclear and clarity is essential.
However, I'm not sure why after clearing up the issue on the call Reddit would make claims later.

I just don't understand why they (or just spez?) are/is intent on badmouthing the Apollo dev.

[–] Glunkbor@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really believe he did not expect the Apollo dev to have recorded the whole conversation, so badmouthing him would have served to create the narrative that the dev is the bad guy in this. That would have given all those people ammunition who are clearly against the blackout, against the anger of the destruction of third-party apps and against those who participate or started it. And this is what Spez hoped for: create doubt in the dev and therefore the whole blackout. So that in the end it's a "we are not perfect, but the dev also did bad things"-situation, which sadly would work for many people.

Yep. This probably happens every time there is an issue between two parties but how often does the victim of the auto show up with receipts? Lol

I don't even see how it could be a threat.

"We're going to charge you $20million a year for API access"

"If you actually think my app makes $20million a year, then you can pay me $10millon and I'll give you my app"

What's the threat? The Apollo dev was just saying his app doesn't make him much money, and he'd happily take a $10millon buyout
