I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.
What are your thoughts?
That’s the fine. What it shows is that Reddit is concerned primarily and exclusively about making money. The average user is concerned primarily about convenience. Those that take issue or want smaller communities without the mass effect of a mainstream platform will find themselves elsewhere.
