What’s even more confusing for me is that for a lot of the services Beeper does still offer, it directly breaks their TOS too, especially Discord. They don’t allow logging messages which is basically what Beeper has to do anyway to be able to let you read anything through it, since it runs via the bot API on your account on Discord. Fine enough as a hobby project or small/medium scale thing, terrible business decision for a large CEO
Seems like an impulse buy with little thought put into it to me
Wait, does Lonnie own Automattic? /s
