If lol? I think it is obvious that they will already - at least for anything tech or dev related for sure and that will be enough to sustain it because obviously those same people have other interests as well, and will attract gamers and the rest. It may take time for the Vinn diagrams to all align with each other but the rest will come eventually.

How reddit itself formed… tech the tech centric audience from Digg and slowly everyone came along with them - even if they didn’t like the transition initially. Reddit has literally committed suicide whether spez realizes it or not. I think obviously people like Mark Zuckerberg and the guy ahead of twitter - pre-elon saw it coming, why bluesky exists and why Facebook wants to join as well before they become irrelevant.

Spez is a fool who can’t see past his own nose and just wants to cash out by IPO’ing - but the thing is he’s both too late and mishandled the IPO already. He will get the absolute smallest pay day of all the platforms that have gone public in any way imho. I am sure he’ll make out fine still, but it will be a small pittance that it could have been had he shown an ounce of respect for the reddit community.
