I can’t help but notice how similar their phrasing is to Spez trying to justify why Reddit has yanked the rug out from under their third party app developers.
It’s not surprising. A lot of these CEOs run around in cliques. They have forums, news letters, Chatrooms, and social events. When Silicon Valley Bank went down, the CEO of the company I work for was giving us news from other CEOs he was talking to from a shared Chatroom they set up, basically a discord for CEOs.
The other point is that many CEOs are slaves to trend and have a deep fear of missing out.
In a way, they’re organized, and combined with the above, that’s part of why when one big company hops everyone leaps behind them as if they’re moving as one (it’s all a dick-measuring Highschool clique contest though, which is why I don’t use the word conspiracy). I would not be surprised if Huffman and Musk both repeated their rhetoric to an adoring crowd of fellows before they took it to their feeds. It’s maybe why they speak so brazenly, because there is a little echo chamber of people who worship at the altar of Survivorship bias in the hope that heaven will send them more bigger-dick pills.
The proprietary platforms of the world are all simultaneously shitting themselves for some theoretical profit because they all just assume their userbases are collectively idiots who will go along with whatever garbage they force upon them. Let RHEL die. Let Reddit die. Let Twitter die. The users have the power here, stop using shitty services.
I’ve never liked the idea of RHEL but it at least made sense as a distro to use for business use with paid support, but what they’re doing now is unacceptable. As much as I hate Ubuntu these days, I’d much rather see companies using Ubuntu with their paid support plans since Ubuntu still provides open source, free access for everyone. That said, I’d much rather see people using community- or nonprofit-maintained distros over corporate backed ones. Debian is a solid choice and it doesn’t involve giving up the soul of open source to use it.

I’m not surprised, but that is the most pathetic thing I’ve ever heard.
Spez actually tried to justify it?
I only saw him blaming “power-hungry” moderators for being “greedy”, and apollo “for profiting millions” from reddit’s api.
It’s the classic argument of “your reasonable concerns are detrimental to our business model”

I think the solution is the same.
