The time frame up to the IPO (I don’t know how that timing works) seems to be what is critical. Right now Reddit has been unprofitable. The CEO took on massive new levels of expenses via staffing with no real plan (or it didn’t work?) for how to pay for those expenses. This bad faith “negotiation” on API seems aimed at… I guess trading 3rd party utility and to some extent the community for the ability to sell data to AI industry?

I guess we will see but pick a time frame and none of it looks good for Reddit.

Yeah, leadership… I guess?

I have no idea what I am doing, I am going to copy that other person even though it seems obvious they are failing.

It is almost like we can’t trust a for-profit owned social media site to have our interests as their first priority. I don’t know what this CEO is doing but it’s hard to see a bright future for Reddit in any case. Its too bad for the community but it is really too bad for those working there.

I am not sure why people link to twitch instead of the source. https://reddark.untone.uk

https://reddark.untone.uk This doesn’t seem too bad for a hastily arranged reaction to all of this. I know it is frustrating to not have immediate gratification, but demoralizing those who are staying strong is not helpful.

Undecided on Lemmy, but good so far. I deleted my Reddit account and have no plans on returning unless they get rid of the CEO and even then not sure I would.
