Reddit and ~~twitter~~ X, racing to see who can burn their company to ash the quickest.
Let's be real... as long as people act like brainless animals, there will be zoos they enjoy being in. Reddit lost nothing, sooner than later more and more people will more and more give in and everything will go back to how reddit was. The number of people who care is miniscule.
