    • Reddit is about to get a little less accessible

  • Because of Reddit's organic growth over time, it's understandable that leadership may be unaware of/unfamiliar with all its moving parts. When good leaders discover moving parts are essential to a portion of their community, they normally strive to preserve and improve access to those moving parts. Not Reddit leadership: they're continuing to double-down.

    I don't need any press conference to tell me they're all dead.

  • The APIs go dark on July 1. Those are the traffic numbers I'm waiting to see. The protest/Blackout was a warning shot: July 1 will see the real exodus.

  • Success will be measured in $$$ and that's loss of ad revenue. So far, no revenue has been lost because all the buys were placed and paid for pre-Blackout.

    The acid test is the 2-weeks from the Blackout - will advertisers flee Reddit for more stable/predictable pastures OR will u/spez and company be able to talk them in to staying by offering concessions for the disruptions in audience delivery?

    Stay tuned until July 1: u/spez doesn't seem like a real flexible kinda guy so far but we don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

  • This just in from forbes.com:

    "Investors are fed up. Fidelity, which led Reddit’s $700 million funding round in 2021 with a $10 billion valuation, has cut its Reddit company valuation by 41% since it invested. This could scupper Reddit’s plans to eventually go public with a reported valuation of $15 billion."
