    Probably one of the shitstains in Google’s C-suite after having signed a “wonderful” contract to get access to “all that great data from Reddit” forced the Techies to use it against their better judgement and advice.

    It would certainly match the kind of thing I’ve seen more than once were some MBA makes a costly decision with technical implications without consulting the actual techies first, then the thing turns out to be a massive mistake and to save themselves they just double up and force the techies to use it anyway.

    That said, that’s normally about some kind of tooling or framework from a 3rd party supplier that just makes life miserable for those forced to use it or simply doesn’t solve the problem and techies have to quietly use what they wanted to use all along and then make believe they’re using the useless “sollution” that cost lots of $$$ in yearly licensing fees, and stuff like this that ends up directly and painfully torpedoing at the customer-facing end the strategical direction the company is betting on for the next decade, is pretty unusual.

      If they hadn’t bought and then shutdown what became google groups to sabotage Usenet they could have gotten access to just as good of a data set for free.
