They are all going to leave eventually. If this utter disdain for the users and mods is before the ipo, then everything after will be much worse. It is inevitable now that the quality of content will decrease, and that’s the thing that will doom them. Even if they fire Huffman and walk this back, the damage is done. They can’t draw in new users on a more than decade old product, so their only choice is to change the product to appeal to new users. Today that means going left or right. The users and mods that stay are writing graffiti on the walls in a flooding city.

I’ve been wondering which social media platform was going to fold like a house of cards, completely unable to make money or attract investors. Reddit was at the bottom of that list, but here we are.
