Reddit CEO tells employees that subreddit blackout “will pass”

Spez, and Reddit as a whole is basically counting on most subreddits opening back up tomorrow after the 48-hour period.

Really hope that mods can hold out for longer, make them really panic.

I guess this is the new Reddit! Time to kick our feet up.

I expected as much. 2 days is a pitiful protest length. I will not be using Reddit any longer whilst keeping an eye on updates from here and other news sites. I'm hoping this memo encourages all subreddits to protest idnefinitely until this assclown of a CEO is willing to negotiate lower API prices. And if he's not, onto greener pastures. And watching /r/wallstreetbets figure out a way to destroy their IPO when it eventually launches.

I agree i'm in no hurry to use Reddit. I'll be satisfied if enough people stick around and keep the place interesting. In fact i would say sticking around the fediverse is the only answer to dystopic corporate domination. Those who return, enjoy your exploitation, lol.

Me too. I am actually not missing reddit right now, but I don't know what I'll do when search results point me to reddit.

That's what's killing me. Problem solving without reddit is very difficult. If you want a solution to a problem, or a recommendation, or anything involving crowdsourcing, reddit is the knowledge base.

Then use it from Google, like a better Quora - but that doesn't mean you log in and contribute content or hang around.
