| Jun 5, 2023 at 19:05 | comment | added | Levente | @NotTheDr01ds if your take is the winning one, then I am curious to see what will Prosus do to attempt to save the value of their investment. To what sort of confrontation between SE staff and Prosus that could lead. Might there be fresh openings in paid internal positions for community manager and other admin roles? If Prosus would make the effort to study the Monica Cellio case and its consequences, and then to consider this fiasco, maybe they could realize that the SE home team had long been ripe for replacement? Maybe Prosus could invite back the original pair of creators, to save the day? | |
| Jun 5, 2023 at 18:58 | comment | added | Levente | @NotTheDr01ds those are very interesting insights. I totally failed to reckon with the StackOverflow Teams product. I guess I should research what that product actually is, to better understand how a client, who pays for privileged and private access can come to a position to dictate what happens on the entire open network... And how SE staff can be so far unaligned with all the rest of the user base in their conclusions about the source of the value of the platform... | |
| Jun 5, 2023 at 18:16 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | In a "follow the money" analysis, it's most likely one of Stack Exchange's customers that has an issue with this. The customers that use Teams and Collectives are often in for "six and seven figure deals" (according to one of the Sales job postings). I've seen one company's employees posting AI-generated answers at a higher-than-average rate on Stack Overflow, and I'm wondering if perhaps there was some sort of escalation from the Account Team. Those tend to often get knee-jerk reactions from management that can often result in bad decision making for the company as a whole. | |

So if they do perceive a problem that could devalue their investment, they'll likely get involved. | |
| Jun 5, 2023 at 18:13 | comment | added | NotTheDr01ds | I did similar research on Prosus (and their primary owner, Naspers) in attempt to "follow the money" in terms of why things were happening here. But I didn't reach quite the same conclusions. First, you wouldn't normally see Prosus management get involved at this level - I believe this is purely something coming out of the SO/SE staff. They'd probably ask the CEO about it, if it appeared to become a problem, but I doubt they were behind this decision. | |
