Why Reddit Users Have Turned Against the Company’s IPO
Reddit will allow its most active users to buy shares in its IPO. But many of those users are skeptical it will succeed.
I used a program to delete all of my posts and comments at once. It took some time since it went post by post, but I didn't want any of my intellectual property making money for a company that continues to shit all over users.
Spez can go fuck himself with a hot metal fork.
People are saying that it would be really easy to keep all of the predeleted stuff to sell, I don't know if that's true or not.
On a technical level, it's absolutely true. They already have to keep it for legal purposes (e.g. a user posting illegal material, then deleting/altering it).
As for whether they're actively harvesting that for sale is another matter entirely.
“If anything I think it devalues Reddit because now the board has to do things for investors instead of doing things for the Reddit community,”
Reddit stopped doing things for the community a long time ago
I am glad I left when I did. I can't wait to see everyone else leave once the porn gets removed post IPO. Its just a matter of time
