Got a chuckle from him addressing his employees with a "Hi Snoos". Am I the only one surprised how hard they are doubling down on this?

Am I the only one surprised how hard they are doubling down on this?
- QuarterRoy 3y agoHis job is to double down on getting Reddit public with a successful IPO. Investors want their $ back out of Reddit
- almost_usual 3y agoWith all the negative publicity this IPO is DOA. Not unless they push it out year(s) and do PR. Damage is already done.
- brutal_chaos_ 3y agodoubtful. if the blackout doesn't stay, the issue will be forgotten about. The majority of users won't see a difference for awhile, probably until a bit after Reddit goes public and makes the API switch. and by then investors will have pulled money out, moderators won't be able to moderate, and Reddit will die slowly (or quickly, depending on spam volume after the switch).
- randomdata 3y agoAn IPO is the least of his concerns right now. It is clear they are on the verge of bankruptcy and are panicking, desperately trying to find some source of revenue to keep the lights on. In the past they would find more investors, but investors have had enough.
- mvdtnz 3y agoHe's not wrong that it will pass. Getting to this stage was a big mistake but doubling down now seems viable to me. I don't see this as Reddit's Digg moment - but maybe I'm wrong. It's definitely a big bet.
