My problem is that he didn’t just double-down. He made statements. Didn’t clarify those statements when he continued making statements using the official company reddit account, doubled down using that account, revised his statements when he received backlash, and then when asked specific questions and presented with specific evidence that conflicted with his statement and apparent worldview, he stopped responding.
The company hasn’t made sufficient statements about their political stance or lack there of to divorce themselves from his personal statements, which to me means that he intended those statements to be taken as the company’s view not just his own.
They may or may not see a dip in users from this. But I for one will not be spending the money I was considering spending to move to their services.
