They’ll survive. But no one will love them anymore. I was still a fan of Reddit as a platform till the moment Huffman lied about Apollo’s developer for no reason whatsoever.
That goodwill is hard to earn. And although goodwill isn’t convertible to dollars directly, it tends to affect trajectory over the long term. See freenode’s dramatic decline, among many other examples.
I thought tildes was supposedly a Reddit alternative. I guess they never caught on.
- peruvian 3y agopg would tell him to push through this, get the IPO, cash out, and then leave Reddit to become an angel investor. Plus, pg would make money off the IPO. It’s a YC company after all.
- sillysaurusx 3y agopg has enough money. It’s not his primary motive.
- shafyy 3y agoOh, my sweet summer child. Rich people never have enough money and power.
