It's a mistake to claim that Altman has/had universal support in here. I'm neutral towards him for example, and in all this firing minidrama the only thing I was interested in was to learn the motives of his firing.
But to characterize it as something other then overwhelming support to reinstate Sam altman would be false.
Hence why I said most people (key word: most) are just flip flopping with the background trends. Mob mentality.
