Haven’t touched Reddit since 7/1 but decided to go back and unsubscribe from every sub today. Figure even if I’m not an active user, I’m also now not a number they can point to as success.

But holy shit, the ads I had to see. They’re bigger and more more blatant than I remember. I can only assume that they throw them right at the top of every feed to get that view before you leave.

Fuck Reddit.

If I had to guess, I'd say they're trying to maximize their market cap. It's no secret that they're looking for a buyer and/or eyeing and IPO. The more profitable they can seem before that, the more money Huffman can walk away with.
