It’s obviously complicated. I still think this “meming the issue” approach is temporary, but I don’t know what whill make it stop. I do agree that the best way to say “fuck you spez” is to write it somewhere on Reddit and then leave, but I can sympathize with the mods who care depply for something they have spent so much time nurturing and shaping with zero economic benefits, who can’t just let go right away. If it were me, I’d also be so pissed I’d rather destroy what I created than give it intact to someone else. Kind of toxic, but it’s human behavior. Christ, I’ve been using Apollo for so long that I felt personally attacked by POS spez’s words even though I’m just another user of the app, I can’t fathom what Christian feels right now.

We’ll see in a few days/weeks what comes out of this, and how the protest will evolve. For now, I’m enjoying this giant “fuck you” people are screaming at Reddit.
