Reddit seems to be speedrunning 'self-destruct and devalue IPO'. What would be Reddit's next worst steps?
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 67 points – Given how Reddit has responded to the whole API, community-mods, etc. fiasco, I felt like they're doing some of the more effective things in not only destroying their communities but also their IPO valuation.
Everytime I feel they can't make it worse, they just double down.
Out of pure curiosity, what do you think could be the next steps Reddit could take to make their future even more worse in the most effective ways possible? 😄

Ban NSFW posts entirely. Require subreddits to pay to be private. Take over/shut down subs that don’t make enough ad revenue for their subscriber count. Corporate sponsored/run subreddits plus taking over popular subs to hand over to corporate sponsors. New premium currency to spend on enhanced up/down votes (10x effect normal votes, no limit to use on posts/comments). Newer Reddit to replace old and new Reddit. Updated app required to browse on mobile, requires notification permissions to run. Ban subreddit customization. Subs must allow image posts and use chat. Block linking to 3rd party image and video hosts.
Pretty confident NSFW porn content ban will be coming quick. Seems like their next step to making reddit more advertiser friendly.
Why do I feel like Spez would be reading your comment and taking notes? 100% sounds like something he'd do to appease the investors ...
