It's working, too. The Forbes article which I saw posted either here or on Kbin didn't even push back on Huffman's claim that traffic from LLMs was the reason for the price hike, and I haven't seen any big publication use the audio or transcripts showing a slam-dunk case of slander (or libel, whichever one applies to text) against the Apollo developer.

slander (or libel, whichever one applies to text)

Easy way to remember: Slander is Spoken. (They both start with S)

The problem with the libel/slander is unless it falls into a few categories of what's called per se defamation, you're required to prove damages. (From the libel's/slander's damage to your reputation, not from something like Reddit's API change destroying his business.)
