Insane to think about how all Reddit had to do was ask for a tiny subscription fee from users who wanted to use 3rd party apps, but the IPO meant every penny they didn't control directly was used against them in the process.
Now they have a full-on mutiny on their hands and will probably have to fire like half their staff in the next couple of months just to justify going forward as they planned. Fucking insanity.
I'm wondering if they just didn't think of it, seems like a reasonable enough solution they could've controlled and ended any time if it wasn't working out.
That's really what gets me. 3rd party apps better than yours? Add in the same tools on the official app. Everyone using theirs instead of yours? Apollo literally offered to be bought. None of this had to happen at all
Exactly! The lack of a back up plan is inexcusable. In situations like this, they should have the tester sign some sort of release to keep the implant instead of destroying it. Although the developers weren't dead so maybe they have it at a different company for continuing research? It was different with the amputee who developed an infection; I can understand removal in that instance. But someone who finally has a life just to have it taken away is just not okay.
