I bet reddit paid for that article.
They probably paid for the title but the article isn't actually that peachy, I'd say its assessment is accurate. The Reddit sub protest is over, and technically spez got his way, but the platform has been damaged and may recover or may begin to die out and be replaced.
i.e., clickbait
Yep, time will tell if the users that left were the quality users.
Oh they were. Because they are us.
Stop! You're making me blush 🤭
100% Made the title and everything
I doubt it given the way the article ends- it suggests that while reddit's leadership got it's way, that the incident might still have damaged the platform's reputation and that in the long term reddit might not be successful in it's attempts to be profitable either. I'd imagine a paid article would have a more positive or confidence-inducing message than that.
I mean it's pretty damned true though. Reddit won their stupid fight. They were always going to. Yeah they lost a lot of users, but there still a ton of users left.
Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article
Who needs an article when you have a headline and expert commentary in the comments?
Wow, this place truly is the Reddit replacement we've all been looking for
