Exactly. Even if spez rolled everything back, I’m not going back.
All trust in Reddit is now destroyed because of Spez.

His name is Steve Huffman, using Spez means he gets to avoid a lot of the public criticism through google searches etc.
After the whole Brock turner the rapist crusade (deserved) I’ve been sitting here scratching my head why spez wasn’t named and shamed with his real name by the same group.
Give Apollo a contract guaranteeing free API access until the end of time without nonsense restrictions on content and maybe I’d think about it. Short of that I’m all set.
(No it’s not just Apollo. But he’s the most wronged and the one I use.)
Did I mention, “fuck spez”?
