He's been such a mess of lies and contradictions in all this. It'd be funny if it weren't such a sad death knell for a site I genuinely enjoyed.

My other favorite contradiction from that interview was when he claimed that Apollo had millions of subscribers, then claimed it wasn't worth subsidizing the insignificant 10% of the userbase that uses 3rd party apps. Which one is it, spez? Is a single app stealing millions of paying subscribers (which would be only a fraction of free users), or are apps not worth bending to because they're only 10% of your userbase? They can't both be true.
