All of this PR probably could have been fixed very easily if they gave a 6 months notice and were going to charge a reasonable fee. I would have paid 3rd party a small fee to use their app to not see ads, but spez had other IPO plans.

...and if they'd sent the CEO on a corporate-paid submarine trip to the Titanic wreckage. Seriously, I felt for the app developers a lot, but honestly, it was 100% Huffman's interviews that pushed me to delete my account and bid reddit farewell. What an asshat.
