100%, I was mad about the api changes but realistically I would have stayed
But seeing the interviews he gave was just too much. Especially when he was talking about monetizing people who say things on Reddit they wouldn't say to their therapist. Like, that group specifically you want to milk? Fuck spez
Wow, I actually hadn't heard that 🤯 It seems believable based on his other behavior though. It's honestly a shame, Reddit is a cool forum, but it's kind of like a nice restaurant where you know the owners are just awful people... And that really just ruins the experience of being there.

Paywalled but he talks about the value of the data on Reddit for ai training, basically that he wants to get the money from people saying stuff they'd only say in therapy otherwise
Dude is a creep
