There’s no way he answers that. There’s no way he answers anything. He will pose for a verification photo and then a team of lawyers and underpaid publicists will answer the questions they plant. This is all a stunt.
Too bad they fired their dedicated AMA coordinator.
I don’t think they will, but even if they did I kind of suspect the apps will still shutdown, they all announced their shutdown at once, I am sure they discussed amongst each other and reached a line in the sand with reddit. If I got that sort of treatment, even if they backed down I’d never trust them again, I’d never want to work with them again and I don’t see how that sort of situation is tenable. So they could completely abandon the changes and still have achieved the result they want. However, at this point they’ve already vilified themselves to those who will ever care, so there’s no reason to back down at all.
I wouldn’t be shocked if there is only comments from suspiciously young accounts that get addressed, posts like “How are you so brave to get up lead us to the promised land every day sir?” and “I don’t have a question, I just want to thank you for saving me from the scourges of NSFW posts”, while all the real questions are silently absent.
Oh man, I’m making popcorn for this, it’s going to be a complete trainwreck.
I’m still not clear what the alleged threat was, that the app would… make API calls? earning reddit money? That Christian would say unfriendly things about the company that screwed him? What threat is an app developer to a corporation? It’s just patently absurd.
