First subreddit over 10M to go private. The message shown when trying to enter the sub is a quote from spez:
I think the problem Digg had is that it was a company that was built to be a company, and you could feel it in the product. The way you could criticize Reddit is that we weren’t a company – we were all heart and no head for a long time. So I think it’d be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way. Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, April 2023
well that was
…unexpected
Roll credits
I read that as “Roll cReddits”
Did they actually go dark without warning or announcing their plans? That would have been pretty meta.
Nah, they actually announced it first: https://web.archive.org/web/20230607150644/https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/143fpkn/runexpected_is_joining_the_protest_on_june_12th/
I would’ve expected otherwise. Well played, r/unexpected.
