The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

I check in about once a week or two to make sure comments haven't reappeared and take 5 mins to see if things are changing. I noticed a number of my old favorites that are small to midsized definitely have less upvotes on top posts and generally...I think that's a fair proxy for decreased user activity. I think declaring that "reddit won" ignores the degrading quality and lower activity levels...its a weaker platform now.
Yuh. "Reddit won?" This piece and pieces like this generally come with the unwritten subheader (so pretty please invest in us long enough to pump n' dump the stock)
Yeah. If it's even possible for an IPO to be cursed, Reddit's IPO surely is. Everything they do now just reeks of desperation.
