Spez, and Reddit as a whole is basically counting on most subreddits opening back up tomorrow after the 48-hour period.

Really hope that mods can hold out for longer, make them really panic.

This just in from forbes.com:

"Investors are fed up. Fidelity, which led Reddit’s $700 million funding round in 2021 with a $10 billion valuation, has cut its Reddit company valuation by 41% since it invested. This could scupper Reddit’s plans to eventually go public with a reported valuation of $15 billion."

Who actually loses a game of chicken of this magnitude?!? u/spez, you listening?!?

The surefire way of getting your ass in trouble: Pissing off rich, powerful people.

That said, it would be such poetic justice if WSB somehow ate reddit's tail because of this.
