I understand why they didn't want to outright announce "paid API required for third-party apps." But it feels like they're kinda minimizing that and pushing the responsibility for informing users on the app developers. The developers are going to be the ones that get flack for eliminating their free app tiers or raising prices.

Comment on Tesla video promoting self-driving was staged, engineer testifies in ~tech
shiruken "The intent of the video was not to accurately portray what was available for customers in 2016. It was to portray what was possible to build into the system," Elluswamy said, according to a transcript of his testimony seen by Reuters.
When Tesla released the video, Musk tweeted, “Tesla drives itself (no human input at all) thru urban streets to highway to streets, then finds a parking spot.”

I think a lot of Rooster Teeth fans are just in denial about the early content of the company. There's a reason Gavin, Michael, and Geoff's apologies all mention how things were different "back then." Kdin's multiple apologies do exactly the same.
Nightmare HR situation aside, it's pretty clear from the continued layoffs that Rooster Teeth simply does not have the money to pay its employees better. How will the community respond to even more layoffs in order to pay a few employees more money?
We actually had a natural experiment with this during the COVID-19 pandemic! There was a study published last week in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science that found the pandemic shutdowns in Southeast Asia greatly reduced the concentration of these short-lived cooling particles and resulted in increased climate warming since the concentration of long-lived greenhouse gases was minimally affected.
Here's a press release from an affiliated academic institution: Reduced emissions during the pandemic led to increased climate warming
