Reddit seems to be speedrunning 'self-destruct and devalue IPO'. What would be Reddit's next worst steps? (feddit.de)

Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation.

Everytime I feel they can't make it worse, they just double down.

Out of pure curiosity, what do you think could be the next steps Reddit could take to make their future even more worse in the most effective ways possible? 😄

Next bad decision: no usernames, you must use your actual government name and verify not by email, but with a photo or photoscan of a government-issued ID. This will be done in the name of cracking down on bots and troll farms, but will have the unintended consequence of driving off anyone with half a brain cell about how your internet history can come back to haunt you straight off the platform.

Ooooo- that’s a good one! They should require a full scan of a verification document like a RealID drivers license or passport.
