On October 4th, YUR Fit co-founder Cix Liv spoke out on social media about his frustrations in collaborating with Facebook as an independent developer by saying, 'they will block you from the store without reason, break your application, try to POACH YOUR CTO, then copy your app and carrot you the entire time pretending they are going to work with you.' This tweet catalyzed me to reach out to Liv to see if he'd be willing to record his testimony on the record, which we did 6 days later on Saturday, October 10, 2020. Liv was also in conversation with a reporter from Bloomberg for an article titled 'Facebook Accused of Squeezing Rival Startups in Virtual Reality' that was just released today, December 3, 2020. Liv is no longer with YUR Fit because he chose to speak out against what he perceives to be the anti-competitive behaviors that he experienced with Facebook.
