I first saw the announcment in r/save3rdpartyapps (my only sub). The AMA is taking place at r/reddit, no time was given, just says “today”
You must log in or register to comment.
Well that was a disaster. Guess I’ll be spending time here now.
Me too. That AMA was a joke and made me want to uninstall Reddit.
I legitimately don’t understand what they’re hoping to gain from the AMA. Unless spez is going to start with “We were wrong, we’re rolling back the changes” then there’s nothing to be said. They ran over 3rd party apps that millions of their users use for no reason. This will be a total disaster.
Isn’t there a long long history of people thinking they can AMA their way out of a PR disaster and end up stepping in it?
This is going to be epic. I can’t believe how out of touch this guy is.
It’s a banana, Michael, what can it cost, $10?
The worst part about not setting a time is that I don’t know when to start making popcorn.
Well, that went pretty good …
“Today”. Ah yes, a definite time. A well planned and definitely going to be productive AMA and not just a crazy panic-post after they realize that they fucked up super, super, super, SUUUUPER bad by literally having their own CEO falsely accusing 3rd party devs of blackmail, WHEN THERE WERE RECORDINGS.
Spez is, as usual, being an absolute buffoon. Nothing new under the sun.
I want to see it but at the same time I know I will regret it. The last time he never answered straight and avoided tough questions. It’s not going to be different this time. I would love to be proven wrong though.
Edit: called it
I read several comments claiming the ceo edited other people’s comments and changed downvotes to upvotes during the last ama.
Probably a waste of time.
Yup it happened, back in 2016 during the elections. He edited comments (and posts I think) in r/the_donald, people originally said “f*ck spez” and he edited them with the moderators usernames. Things like that.

Now, let me just say that I am aware of how toxic that sub was, but regardless spez opened a bad precedent
The AMA is already over
Yeah, I posted this 3 days ago. I doubt if an AMA lasts for days.
The AMA is live now: link
As usual, cherry picked questions get softball answers.
Not to mention that he continues to diss the developer behind Apollo.
That’s more than just a diss, blackmail accusations is rising to the level of libel. Spez is just being a shitbead Spez as always.
