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.

The future is the hands of the Reddit community. After the blackout, will we collectively shrug our shoulders and give up the fight even though it has barely begun? Or will the gravity of the situation sink in and inspire us into a second, longer, potentially indefinite blackout until our demands are met? Or at least until Reddit gives some ground. Good lord, please don't tell me everyone's going to throw in the towel without at least some concessions of their part.

The general sentiment I've seen among users here is to not go back unless Reddit is willing to give in.

Some subs will inevitably give up tomorrow, we were never going to get 100% commitment to any protest. But it sounds like a hefty number are holding the line.

Heck, a good few people have already committed to burning their accounts and the original two days aren't even up yet. Though Reddit probably counts them as beyond reach even if they do concede completely.
