I'm honestly tired of the trolling. We know that the advertisers and investors aren't going to reverse course, which means Advance isn't going to change, and that means Spez is going to keep going. All the trolling does is hurt the users, and push Reddit closer to the brink. Either Reddit will just be closed because it's not profitable, or there will be a tsunami of bans.
He can do it, let him do it. But why should his members take on the volunteer work of keeping his project running again? Let him set up a paid staff to run the community in an authoritarian manner.
It's not our business if his project might be in little trouble.
The users are free to leave if they feel they are being hurt by the effects of Reddit's more-money-at-all-cost policies.
The die was cast when Reddit decided to put the 3rd party apps out of business. Doubling down on that is only accelerating the decline. We've now reached the point where even if Reddit did some serious backpedaling, it wouldn't get some of its content creators back.
That's the point.
