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.

    I just hope many still stay offline for a longer time to protest. I don’t think 2 days will be enough. A but if damage is done but if there will be no 3rd party apps I’m out. I’d pay for Reddit Premium if that would give me a personal API or something

      A lot of users are willing to pay for an ad free personalized experience, but this seems not to be enough for reddit.

      A fediverse “Reddit” will not spontaneously exist overnight but will be the best long term solution, I’m not sure the current implementations are Product Market Fit enough.

      Agreed. But it seems likely that the blackout will soon be extended since alot of people on YouTube advocated it.
