    Nobody thinks WPEngine is WordPress he’s so full of himself. No fan of WPE but the revisions feature is a performance killer, most developers turn it off or limit the revisions anyway.

    Shame on Matt for his incredibly destructive actions to the WordPress community. It’s past time for him to step back.

    I think its a decent interview actually, as far as the questions by the interviewer go and how she followed up.

    What I didn’t like however was how Matt lied several times about his fight with WPE. For example he says WPE published the term sheet, which is a lie. His own company did that.

    Secondly, Matt says WPE tried wo “weaponize the community against us” which simply isn’t true. Quite the opposite. It was Matt and his company that openly threatened WPE customers – and I am not exaggerating the least bit here. While WPE and a select few of their executive have but fairly quiet about the whole thing, apart from some major statements and announcement.

    Meanwhile, Matt and his company are posting almost daily about this, and attacking WPE constantly. And they are threatening plugin devs. And they are blocking people from accessing WordPress if they disagree with Matt. Let go of more than a hundred people of their own company over this, some of which were very high level executives. And lets not forget the personal blog posts of Matt on the topic, which were … downright weird attacks on other tech bros who happened to disagree with him.

    Almost every day a well know volunteer of the community says goodbye to wordpress now. And its all because Matt, while saying this is about trademark, to this day has not filed a trademark lawsuit against WPE. Which makes saying this is about trademark the biggest lie of them all.

    The dissonance in this is shocking, he thinks the negative backlash is orchestrated by WP Engine. He wants 8% gross of another companies revenue and then he stole a huge plugin in ACF. I use neither WPE not ACF, I still think what Matt is doing is just childish. The backlash is real, the irony is he is paying mods on Reddit and his orgs are actively removing negative reviews from ACF and all the other open places like WP Tavern.

    Thank you Matt for fighting hard to protect and promote WordPress software development and community all these years

      @MukaleleRogers And thank him for blowing up that community with his arrogance, recklessness and egomanical behavior.

      What you call blowing I call prunning. It’s a bold painful move but worth it in my view.

    Credit to TechCrunch for getting Matt on the show, his actions over the last number of weeks have been nothing short of disgraceful. He needs to resign in order for the continued success of WordPress. Bullying, coercion, baseless insults have no place in any community never mind a business of this scale.

    Matt really took that whole “live long enough to become the villain” to heart. What a disturbed individual. Elon took a decade to destroy all his goodwill. Matt did it in less than a month. Quite impressive in a sad sad way.

    Interesting how my previous comment got removed after an hour of me posting it. Here is what I posted:
    28:26 – Nope. Not once did I ever hear anyone say or write that. Been building WordPress websites, themes and plugins for 10+ years and not once have I had a client who thought that, and not once have I read that in any post or comment on any website, forum, social media app or user groups. What has happened a lot though is that I told a client I’m using WordPress to build their site, and before I could even talk about hosting options, they’ve already chosen WordPress com. This is a true story and has happened probably 50+ times to me in my 10+ years of using WordPress.

    What is your business? Matt: what do you mean?
