I love how their CEO believes - is absolutely convinced - that launching a crusade against his product’s users and mods to be a winning strategy.

I don’t think he knows what he’s doing… in his mind he’s running the last meter of the finish line to the IPO when all these “problems” are cropping up for “no reason” and he just wants to finish the race

FTFY.

The users are the product being sold to the advertisers. Framed that way, it makes it even more clear how idiotic driving away users is.
