  …you’re joking, right? There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing.

  Is it going to kill reddit? Of course not. Are they “100٪ unaffected?” Of course not.

    except we are talking about USERS disappearing, not revenue. it is likely that revenue actually increased, because x+n (where n > 0) people paying more than zero generating more than zero is bigger number than x generating zero.

      Reddit’s primary source of revenue is ads, that is a simple fact. What metrics do you think matter when it comes to ad revenue?

    you are forgetting that reddit is not just coders and sysadmins.

    people writing comments about - i don’t know - sneakers, might not care about the reddit drama at all. and all comments are helpful as AI training material - don’t succumb to the biased idea that only what interests you is important or “helpful”
