File that under "things that will never happen." Reddit is not going to reverse course. Period. So the data will be released and that will be the end of it.

I don't think that will be the end of reddit, a lot of platform that had data breaches is still there (with a lot worse reputation, but still there).

May be one more decline factor.

I think "end of it" refers to this particular situation, not of Reddit as a whole. Reddit may die from the API changes, but it will have nothing to do with this hack.

I didn't say that it would be the end of Reddit.

I said that would be the end of it. As in, the end discussion around releasing this hacked data.
