User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.
Reddit hasn’t been shot in the head. It won’t die immediately. It has cancer.
Great analogy. Reddit is also like someone with a serious addiction. In this case, to money. They’re going to keep making stupid decisions because they’ve got to have that money, and not just “enough” but more and more and they’ll screw you over to get it. You’ll forgive them once or twice. You’ll try to talk them out of it. You’ll get their friends involved. You’ll tell them all that they’re throwing away. But they’ve got to have more money. Ultimately you have to give up on them for your own sanity. They’ll still be wandering around town, stinking and ridiculed and talking to themselves, doing anything no matter how degrading for just a little bit more money. Eventually you’ll just pretend you never knew them.
