I read before all this started reddit was valued around $10 billion.

Now it's already down to $5.5 billion.

These are estimates, since reddit hasn't gone public yet, there is no official market value.

Still I'm guessing that next week it will be valued even lower. Tomorrow is when the real shit hits the fan.

I wish more people weren't waiting until June 30 to tentatively make a decision or leave. I have a feeling many of them aren't leaving if they haven't already.

I made my decision to leave as soon as I saw how the app devs were treated. Been back only to edit all my comments to state what I think about spez & co. I’ve simply been waiting to add my little weight to the end of month exodus.

IDK but we are close to finding out. In my experience people are generally bad at preparing. And only react when absolutely necessary.

I decided to leave when I saw how they removed entire moderator from subreddits. Abhorrent behaviour and completely unhinged. I was modding at r/steam for 7 years. Is this how you treat dedicated people to your platform? This shattered the relationship between users and Reddit admins to me. I only removed my account yesterday until they finally hit nail in the coffin with going forward to kill off third parties. I never really used Apollo TBH, but it’s the intent behind what they do that matters to me. Haha.

I wonder if there are a lot of people, average users, that just aren’t in the know, and will only realize the third party apps are gone when they’re physically gone.
