> Im not sure what I would do. But I do know that if I reacted similarly, by posting all of the private meetings and communications to the public web, where I knew a hornet's nest would be stirred up (his subreddit obviously), I can't expect much of a relationship with reddit to survive after the fact.

I mean, in his message he said as much. But at that point, r/spez was slandering him anyhow, so he knew he was out either way.

Might as well set the record straight first.

> Yup, I totally agree, and I sympathize with him. Hes in a bad spot, but unfortunately, theres not much he can do anymore unless reddit changes their mind.

It's a hard lesson that's been learned over and over. If you don't control your platform, ultimately you're at the mercy of the people who do.

Something iOS and Android app creators, and Windows application developers have had to learn over the years.
