Puts on that IPO.
Oh man. This is gonna be fun. I already got all the stuff I need off the site. I can’t wait.
Im sure content will just exponentially increase in quality once the only thing that is important is “stonks go up”.
Time to fire up the protests again and shut down major subreddits again.
Honestly, why bother?
Management has been wanting to cash out for a decade.
The IPO will go ahead, the reddit of the days of yore is dead. It will not improve.
The horse is dead, beating it will just make you hot, sweaty and your arm sore.
No matter what you feel about the place it was never going to go any other way.
It’s like thinking one final shopping spree at Toys’R’Us would have stopped the hedge fund flunkies from siphoning every last cent out of the company.
They already made the decision. The data doesn’t matter (much like the Work From Home / Return To Office fight) and the decision has been made to squeeze profits until it is bled dry.
They never really cared how the userbase was going to feel about it.
A new protest and shutdown would be to get it into the media eye in a bad light. Not actually do anything of importance to the site.
After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.
After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.
And because it is a 24 hour cycle, the scandal will be forgotten and replaced with a new one in the same amount of time.
Going to be a whole new world of monetization to satisfy the share holders.
…beating it will just make you hot, sweaty and your arm sore.

They are about 2 years too late.
They rise in interest rates and the end of easy VC money has swung the dial back to: Companies actually to generate profit and not just show user growth to be attractive to investors.
The IPO will not go as spez dreamed for so long.
It would be such a pity if it turns out the protests caused him to miss the good window.
The protests came several months later, I doubt they had any effect. The end of the line was last January.
A certain Steve miller band song comes to mind.
Take The Money and Run?
I was thinking more along the lines of: The Gambler
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
Except they should have left the table about 4 years ago…when their chip stack was a much larger pile.
I give it 2 months before they axe or further cripple old.reddit prior to IPO, should give Lemmy another wave of new users.
If I were them I would definitely keep it up at least until the IPO so they can still count that traffic.
I think this is a great time for remaining Reddit users to do a 3 month Reddit detox.
