There’s still plenty of blood to drain out of that corpse, just like facebook. They’re a punchline to anyone who knows the internet, but a staple of boomers now. Thing is, shoveling ai slop with ads to ignorant boomers has proven to be quite profitable.

Good. As shitty as they’ve been and as hostile as they’ve become to their own users, I’d live little more than watching the entire damned things crash and burn. More (but still not very) likely though is them desperately selling off before it completely self destructs. Of course if they do sell it, whoever they sell to will likely either make things worse or just shutter it. Most likely they’ll stay the course and continue hemorrhaging usefulness and thus popularity.
Any way you read the cards Reddit is in a tailspin that they seem unwilling to do what is necessary to pull out of. Which is to say, they’re too stubbornly idiotic to reverse their stupid, stupid changes and make a more open, user friendly, and community friendly platform. And I don’t see Spez being that smart.

Probably turn into Y/A answers before shuttling the site completely.

All the people that ruined the site will get a nice golden parachute. The C suite doesn’t give a shit what the company actually does. They are there to make sure the important investors get a return on investment and that is it.

Oh the executives will be fine. I already hate them, no worries.
