This post is wrong on several aspects the other commenters have already pointed out, but it raises this tangential point which I'm curious about "They could buy out more 3rd party clients, which would somewhat appease the community. This would be a terrible move IPO-wise." Why would this be a terrible move IPO wise? If Reddit has two major apps, one for casual users and one for power-users, and it has enough control to eventually put (tasteful) ads in both, how is that bad for their IPO? I don't think it's likely, given how much goodwill they've already burned with the community, but from a pure IPO perspective it seems like a solid go forward strategy
