As an effect of the recent Reddit blackout, the company is now surrounded by disappointed investors and community. I predict that Reddit may end up facing the same fate as Tumblr: being sold to another company. Only time will tell what the future holds for Reddit, but one thing is for sure - the protest will leave a lasting impact on the platform and its users.
Honestly, they’ve shown their cards. Even if they reverse course, we know they’ll just try tightening some other screws.
They’re an unprofitable company, and once they go public, the new board of directors isn’t going to let that stand for very long when all of the other big social companies have been clamping down.
