Hopefully they just haven’t thought about that yet

And why did it shut down and have to be replaced by r/196 ?

I mean maybe that’s the plan. He tried to back out of buying Twitter because he knew it would hurt him - now he’s trying to extract as much wealth as possible from Twitter before making it self-destruct, so he at least breaks even and can pay all that debt back without taking any losses himself.

I think the 300 is coming from those who pledged to stay dark. Some might have stayed dark without explicitly repledging.

Talk about out of touch.

Actually I’m skeptical about this. There were some other posts pointing out huge upvotes happening during the blackout, and others noticing a surge of bot followers appearing.

So I’m not sure that I trust those numbers at this point.

The other point is - it’s too soon to tell. But if advertisers and investors start having second thoughts about Reddit then that hurts the IPO.

The key isn’t in how many subs come back or how many folks return. It’s about getting Reddit’s attention by affecting what they care about most so that they have to start listening to their users again.

Too soon to tell, but that just means that at this point in time, it’s not a failure. Have hope!
