Doubling down.
"Some apps such as Apollo, Reddit is Fun, and Sync have decided this pricing doesn’t work for their businesses”
Someone needs to learn how to read the room. Damn that’s some bad PR.

So the AMA ended up being 20k almost exclusively negative comments and 14 non answers that just pissed people off more.

Dave Chappelle has some salient advice for next time:

I don't think a 2 day Reddit blackout is going to do anything. Guessing they'll just wait it out and do nothing.

If it was set up as "until things change” it'd be a lot more interesting. Mostly because I think Reddit would panic at some point and do something really stupid, which would be fun to watch.

@paul that’s a good point and strategy.

Ugh it’s grim.

I’m glad Ivory is so up and running. I literally use it everyday. ❤️🐘
