    There’s no way they can IPO with under the current circumstances. They’ll not be able to strong-arm the volunteers into submission. I’m thinking there’s a deadline, they’ll drop spez and sell the company off to some place that gives a crap.

      They’ll sell the company off to some place that will give less of a crap and will need to monetize even more to recoup their investment. It will become Deaddit.

          Reddit croaked?

          Reminds me of the old dad joke.

          Reddit was once a beautiful thing, I hope a way can be found for it to remain so. But this seems like a much nicer place now, more like the Reddit of old. So unfortunately, Deaddit seems like the only moniker that fits now.

            Kinda sorta hope we can federate in reddit’s history at some point, like a static instance and move on. I’ve pretty much jumped ship, but no point in denying there’s a history there.

              While Greece is still relevant today, its ancient history is what people look to. So long as Reddit continues to exist in search results, it will serve a similar purpose.
