One thing about open letters is they almost never accomplish anything. It seems Reddit is digging hooves into the turf on this thing. If they were going to budge, I think they'd be doing it about now. There's only a few days left before the lights go out.

    I agree and even if they revert the changes some people just won't go back. They did so much more damage to their reputation since the original issue of API changes.

    Reddit won't die as some ignorant people hoped for, but enough people migrated to create something new.

    So far I've been getting my fill of content so I'm fine here. Not missing the old haunt much.

    I don't really care what happens to Reddit one way or the other, but it's rather amusing drama, good guys us, bud guys them. I'm interested to see what happens after the deadline.

    It doesn't have to die all of a sudden; once it becomes obvious that it's peaked, nobody will be willing to underwrite them losing money anymore and they'll go through progressive rounds of layoffs and shittier monetization strategies until there's nobody left.
