Well, Sam Altman wants Reddit to have a billion users. To me, that means preserving Reddit's culture isn't a top priority. I mean they'll nod at it and say they're trying to keep the culture yada yada, but push come to shove, they really aren't going to defer to it.
- zzleeper 11y agoThat was a bit what Digg tried, to forget about their current users and think about their potential ones... (and foursquare, etc.)
- Taek 11y agoReddit is actively driving away their core users. This is a disaster for any product, regardless of where the potential lies. Until they are no longer your core users, you still need them. On the other hand, this does remind me of all the pleas and hate that Facebook got about their permissive privacy policies. As much bad publicity that resulted, Facebook is still the king of social media. To quote a reddit comment chain: > Fuck Pao. I'm leaving Reddit. > > No you aren't.
- quadrature 11y agoCould you elaborate on what you mean?. The core users are the ones that vote and comment, If they don't vote and comment then posters dont get karma, If they don't get karma they don't post and if they don't post then Reddit really isn't going to have a user base of any kind. So it's in everyone's best interest to preserve the culture.
