    …you’re joking, right? There is not a company in the world that is happy to ignore 1/100th of their revenue disappearing.

    Is it going to kill reddit? Of course not. Are they “100% unaffected?” Of course not.

      except we are talking about USERS disappearing, not revenue. it is likely that revenue actually increased, because x+n (where n > 0) people paying more than zero generating more than zero is bigger number than x generating zero.

        Reddit’s primary source of revenue is ads, that is a simple fact. What metrics do you think matter when it comes to ad revenue?
