Spez will feel nothing but anger. I’m sure that he genuinely feels that nothing has been lost. The people that work for him probably feel uneasy that his ego has unnecessarily breathed life into another platform.
I would be pretty annoyed if I sat on the board because Lemmy and Kbin may have been just another Voat had they just come up with something reasonable. It blows my mind that they never floated serving ads through the API just to offset their alleged costs.
Spez is not that hard to figure out. If you connect the dots, he read in the press that ChatGPT used Reddit as a source to train their AI. He saw that as a huge source of value that was being GIVEN away and rushed to slam that door shut with closing the APIs. He wa so obsessed with getting this value that he misread the developers and accused them of being parasites and slandered them publicly.
I think he was also jealous of third party apps being profitable when Reddit wasn't. He viewed this as them stealing his money, and decided to go on a personal crusade against third party apps and their devs to punish them for their perceived treachery.
