just so this doesn’t overwhelm our front page too much, i think now’s a good time to start consolidating discussions. existing threads will be kept up, but unless a big update comes let’s try to keep what’s happening in this thread instead of across 10.

developments to this point:

The Verge is on it as usual, also–here’s their latest coverage (h/t @dirtmayor@beehaw.org):

    I wonder how much backtracking will be done. Are they going to listen to the concerns of the community or are they going to double down on their decisions?

        From how the AMA went, it sure seems that way. Funny how they just agreed to fuck over Apollo, but are working with the other apps, especially after blatantly lying about the situation. What a mess.

          They will only work with apps that are “non-commercial”, AKA free labour. There’s no way an app survives without some kind of monetisation. It’s just a money sink then. It’s honestly incredible how shitty they’re being.

          Spez was likely pissy that Christian called him on his bullshit and had all the receipts to prove it.

            I’ll bet spez isn’t too happy about Apollo featuring in the Apple WWDC rather than the official app, either

            Thin skin and the inability to admit that you’re wrong aren’t great qualities to have in a CEO…
