Got a chuckle from him addressing his employees with a "Hi Snoos". Am I the only one surprised how hard they are doubling down on this?
Investors want their $ back out of Reddit
Even if some subreddits choose to extend the time period (even indefinitely) Reddit has no reason to really care - most of them are so small they don't 'move the needle'.
I appreciate that the decision Reddit is making and their justification both seem poor. But the response seems like people are missing where and how Reddit makes its money.
I think he went about this completely in the wrong way and comes off as arrogant but on this I agree. Many subs that didn’t go dark still seem to have plenty of participants and people need their digital crack. I don’t see this being a digg moment for Reddit.
The problem isn't that no one can create a Reddit clone, the problem is that no one can scale like Reddit and do it at continuous loss just to be dominant
Well, anyone with enough money to burn can, but most who could probably can find other, better ways to burn the money.
> I am sorry to say this, but please be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations. LoL
I do hope a good chunk of mods extend the blackouts indefinitely.
The most powerful force in computing is laziness. People will trade freedom, autonomy, privacy, security, ownership of their own works, anything for ease of use.
I don't understand why reddit didn't respond to the initial criticism by decreasing the pricing/demands and just slowly implementing what they want over time. Doing it all at once seemed like a silly move.
