I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.
What are your thoughts?
I don’t really care. I’m here now, deleted my 12 year old account in the process. People thinking Reddit will die are delusional. The Reddit as us old people know it has died years ago, it just became unbearable now.
Agreed, couldn’t care less about Reddit, the protest was a damp squib in most respects, Spez knew it would be business as usual Wednesday so just waited until it all blew over. Some are carrying on, they say mods may be forced out, if people had any sense they’d walk away from the place. We were slowly but surely being turned into product.
