    It’s probably a mix of both. Er, what exactly happened to those subs?

    I wouldn’t sweat it, though. Reddit will never recover from the events of the last two days. They’ll be bleeding users from now on.

      This isn’t the end for Reddit by a long way but it might in hindsight be seen as when its slow decline reached the point of no return.

      I don’t know if it will be the end. But the quality is likely to go down. The power users were using 3rd party apps. And without a lot of those being around. It’s going to go down in quality like Twitter did when Elon acquired it.

      What will really kill them is when they officially go public. That will kill the site dead.

        I missed the whole Twitter-after-Elon thing. I never really got Twitter, and I was permabanned from it before he acquired it. Ironically, for a Tweet about (among other oligarchs) Elon!

          I regretfully still have mine. Mostly because I love sports and a lot of Twitter accounts I follow for news are still active. And accounts like Wario64 for when things go on sale for games or 4K blu-rays. That said, Elon will never get my fucking money.

          Neither will spez.
