Doubt that’s accurate. The AMA post doesn’t even show up on his profile.

I don’t know how RedReader will survive without monetisation, either since the conditions are they are “non-commercial”. It’s such bullshit and just a ploy to further profit off free labour.

It’s going to become a barren wasteland of bots communicating with each other.

Apparently they’ll be laying off about 90 workers (5%) whilst also lowering the amount of people they will hire. So, less staff to begin with. Less mods. It’s going to be a shitshow. The admins don’t even deal with moderation, really. Reporting is outsourced to their “Anti Evil Operations” team. So wtf are they going to do? I can’t wait to see the downfall.

At this point, after that poor excuse of an AMA, their reputation is tanked.

I buy books only when I really love the edition. Otherwise, I’ll buy some on kindle and rent others through my local library, or Libby. I only buy physical copies of books I am happy to re-read.

“Non-commercial,” AKA give us all your hard work for free. No subscriptions, you won’t be compensated for your work. How are you supposed to make enough to support your app as a dev in this scenario? You’re not. It’s all PR damage control and it’s pathetic. Once again trying to profit off free labour.

I can’t wait. I really, really hope it’s not a letdown, but I’ve yet to be let down by the show. I don’t still watch it to fall asleep almost every night… Lol
