Reddit’s already won. You can’t even use /r/place with a recent account, and yet here on a community with the most die hard anti-reddit people, plenty clearly still haven’t deleted their accounts.

The fuck /u/spez people who spent far too much time on /r/place, have driven up engagement, which will be a nice little bonus when it comes time to IPO. I assume they’ll censor all of it toward the end anyway, so it doesn’t matter. Shows investors reddit users may complain, but can’t quit the site either. No one ever lost money selling heroin to junkies, even if they complained about how much it was ruining their lives. Hell, I hear that often when someone overdoses on a dealer’s heroin, sales go up, because junkies think the drugs must be super strong.

It’s honestly pathetic. Luckily reddit doesn’t really matter that much.

But it be nice if the fediverse grows. Reddit will still exist and be popular, but we’ll have a better community here.
