It’s justified when you take into account that for 6 years, this company had *nothing* until this year where they shipped a 700$ ChatGPT McDonalds toy. Nevermind the fact that they had 230 million dollars invested. Can you imagine how much good in the world can be done with 230m?

I find it distasteful, almost unethical, to say this when you have 18 million subscribers. Hard to explain why, but with great reach comes great responsibility. Potentially killing someone else’s nascent project reeks of carelessness. First, do no harm.

Still in awe of the fact that in 2009 the UIKit team at Apple was pissed off that people were class-dumping & swizzling internal methods that they left this method in UIViewController. Nowadays they take your app off the store and ban your 100$ account (except if you’re Facebook)
