That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.

In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.

On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)

Let’s not poison ourself, thinking on “how to make them pay”. Let’s move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!

    I agree. IMO, guess it’s better to let them be.

    The path reddit is now taking is the same one as big media websites focused on the impressionable masses. Just a content dump.

    I know it’s hard for us, yet, we’ve grown way more than just a hobby project, so, something good might come out of us, people that didn’t quite abandon reddit in soul.
