1 year agoFWIW, I don’t think it’s spez who’s asking for that; he’s simply the conveyor of the message.
I’m pretty sure this is a finance constraint imposed by underwriters/financers of the IPO, who want to see all the revenue with reddit and not with third parties. (I also think Twitter’s similar move was at the behest of $ people since Elon borrowed money to buy the company.)
It’s all chemical, and even bacteria, which are single celled, have quorum sensing.
