That Reddit will not shut down. It will take the hit and go on and probably make at least some money. Only, it will be a much different place, more like Facebook or Instagram, in that it will be full of ads and less specific information.
It will cease to be a different, often niche space and become just another, more generalized social for a more generalized public.

In short: we, aka the people who migrated, simply are not their intended target anymore.

On the subject, I found @gonzo0815 's post very interesting and more detailed than my summary😅 (link https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/25185/A-few-thoughts-about-the-blackout-and-the-future-development)

Let's not poison ourself, thinking on "how to make them pay". Let's move on, and enjoy the new internet spaces we are building!

If lemmy is an issue for some, send them to kbin instead. It doesn't matter where in the fediverse they come in at, as long as they are in the fediverse.
