People keep saying he was caught lying - to be honest, I don’t really see where where that happened.
Reading the transcript of the conversation with the Apollo dev, it was a fairly awkward exchange, and the Apollo dev was using all these innuendos to imply that a monetary exchange would avoid a negative outcome.
I don’t think we know who it was specifically at Reddit that acknowledged the Apollo dev was not delivering a threat. The transcript notably attributed that to a general “Reddit”, not the CEO. Do we even know that the CEO was on the call? Why didn’t the Apollo dev note who was speaking?
Especially after the way he was acting on the call to try and negotiate a cash payment, I don’t entirely trust the Apollo dev’s telling of events.
I didn't get that vibe whatsoever. I got much more a vibe of him calling BS on Reddit's numbers. Like, "Really? My app's API calls are costing Reddit $20M/year? Why has this never been an issue til now? You could have reached out to me, you could have limited my API calls, hell, you could have written me a check to say "please shut down this resource drain"!"
