The Future of Reddit after the Blackout (kbin.social)

As an effect of the recent Reddit blackout, the company is now surrounded by disappointed investors and community. I predict that Reddit may end up facing the same fate as Tumblr: being sold to another company. Only time will tell what the future holds for Reddit, but one thing is for sure - the protest will leave a lasting impact on the platform and its users.

Unfortunately, not much is going to happen. When you put an end date to a protest, then the company can just wait it out. What really needs to happen is all major subs start redirecting to kbin, tildes, beehaw etc

The protest had an end date because it shows that we're reasonable and willing to come back to the table. Now that Reddit has doubled-down, the next stage is to extend the timeline and magnitude of the protest.

The big apps and some of the bigger subs were always going to be going away indefinitely, while others will likely stay dark or even join the protest after staying out initially. Some will go back to normal, too, of course, just like some subs didn't participate at all in the first place.
