Does a CEO really understand how the products that his company makes operate at the nuts and bolts scale? To me this sounds like if the CEO of GM was discussing the merits and deficits of a limited slip differential.

This is too much to believe. IMO spez is just the fall guy.This wholole shitshow leads to spez taking the blame for killing reddit, leaving, and then reddit monetizing the api at more reasonable rates than those already announced, while dying a slow death

The official API access rules, still online, use an android reddit app as an example for how to select a user agent: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/wiki/API#rules
It's hard to argue this wasn't an intended use-case...
Spez is a one-trick-pony. He can only power through protests by ignoring them and brushing them off. Until now it kinda worked, until it doesn't.
It's all about the money, baby.
