I agree, and the hard pivot outwardly over policies and the near antagonistic stance the admin team has suddenly taken has got to be a precursor to something we not be aware of yet. Spez feels like a willing scapegoat to make a few million as he parachutes out when it blows up. They will use him to implement the unpopular decisions, get it "profitable" leading up to the IPO then remove spez and bring in a populist type CEO to smooth over the dissent. Maybe give better tools, act like they give a shit but not actually roll back any changes.
We know this tactic as its something wall street does all the time, and something reddit specifically has done before as well.
