Yeah, the angry irrational reactions show that all the talk about the protests just being noise was a bluff. It might have blown over, but it hasn't exactly because it got a reaction.
He was right that Reddit is "too big to fail", but he's doing the equivalent of keying a car he's planning to sell every time he opens his mouth. He'll still get money for it, but he's completely unnecessarily lowering its value.
I'd say it's kinda like having a "10-second" car that everyone loves and wants, but then you start ripping out some of the best performance parts and installing inferior parts in their place.
Does the car still run? It does. Is it slowly imploding because you've upset the engine's balance to the point where it's becoming dysfunctional? Also yes.
It's only a matter of time before the pretty paint job no longer hides the garbage under the hood.
