CEO Steve Huffman said, "These deals aren't binary. They have to make sense for Reddit, but there are many ways, I think, for the value to return to Reddit."

Who could imagine when you piss off:

  1. third party devs who make the apps your best contributers use
  2. your unpaid content creators
  3. your unpaid moderators

…that the “value” would leave 🤣
