First subreddit over 10M to go private. The message shown when trying to enter the sub is a quote from spez:
I think the problem Digg had is that it was a company that was built to be a company, and you could feel it in the product. The way you could criticize Reddit is that we weren’t a company – we were all heart and no head for a long time. So I think it’d be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way. Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, April 2023
Will they be back in 48 hours, or are they staying down indefinitely?
They’re /r/unexpected, so if they were to state one or the other I don’t know if that could be trusted anyway.
What would be truly unexpected is for it to randomly be open then closed.
Dont give them ideas
Let them stay private indefinitely. Reddit is already dead like Twitter and Twitch.
