I had no idea in what scenario imaginable that this was going to go well or improve things, even when it was announced.

"Hey Steve, you were right. We realize we were taking your mercy to keep the API for granted. We'll not only cancel the subreddit blackouts but we'll stop using 3rd party apps, install the official app and click on 5 ads just because of how admirable your AMA post was."
