    Went on the apple sub yesterday and majority of people on there didn’t give a shit about the API changes and were calling the Apollo developer a whiny multi millionaire or something. Feels like the general tone has shifted a lot.

      That feels like self-selection bias to me. The most vocal people with opinions leaning the other direction, have already left the platform.

      I also wonder if the Reddit admins might have started some kind of marketing campaign to build the consensus in their favor of their own platform. There have been several instances of third parties using social media to do that kind of things, the hivemind makes it easy enough that the word of mouth is going to spread when it’s high enough on the main subs.

      That might be granting them more PR credit than they’ve shown in the last few weeks, though.
