    I think it started in earnest the day of his AMA, whenever that was.

    It actually started long before that. Fuck U Spez was already a meme when all of the API/third-party app stuff took off, but at that point, it was still mostly a holdover from previous examples of Spez being a shithead. The thing that really gave it (new) life was that AMA.

      Ah yes the AMA where he made everything even worse for himself, especially by trying to slander the Apollo’s dev. That seems to be on 09 June 2023.
