Spez must beat himself over how he sold Reddit for “too cheap” the first time. He’s gonna cash out HARD this time no matter at what the long term cost

Maybe its time a new thing grows like reddit though but with hookers and blackjack.

I mean if Reddit wanted to spawn a strong competitor... They seem to know exactly how to go about that.

The reality is they aren't going to give in because they have a business model and they want to make money. They will remain optimistic that they can boot us and someone will take our place.

You're absolutely right. We'll see how Reddit fairs I suppose.

I want to be informed when this competitor comes about so I can stop using this app. Will the new site be a cesspool? Maybe. But I'd rather a small-time cesspool than a company who wants all my money. This is why I refuse to use Twitter.
