Well, this should give them some motivation.

Are you really sure? 😂

WHAT? Where is the next one planned to take place?

Not really. People in developed countries need to divide their emissions by approximately ten times. Every little bit helps. And we should start with the easy ones.

They are obvious because they are rarely irreplaceable. We can live without mass tourism and fast deliveries.

The US is 4th.

And yet they are part of the obvious low hanging fruit for reducing emissions

Elegant!

Another example of a multi-billion dollar company that doesn’t curate their products/services. Costs too much money they would only profit 234 billion instead of 244 billion.

In the long term it’s a terrible strategy. People will lose confidence and stop shopping there. I’ve almost stopped and I know I’m not the only one.

Not that most executives care about long term…

Thanks again! Looks like we are doing OK :)

Thanks! Do you know if it’s possible to see the same over a slightly longer period of time?

Do we know how well lemmy is doing?

Not that we need infinite growth, but enough people is nice to have, especially for niche subjects.

Wouldn’t it be possible to add end to end encryption for DMs?

Who cares. Do we really want people who buy into this sort of stuff here?

Impact on revenue could take months, if not years, to materialize. Most redditors will probably stick around for the time being, but if content posters / moderators leave the ship, the site will eventually die.

If I were him, I’d be looking at account deletions (especially from mods), number of new posts/comments, etc.

Huffman says the blackout hasn’t had “significant revenue impact”

So two-day revenue change is his preferred metric? If I were a Reddit investor, I wouldn’t want this guy as a CEO…

This site has a graph that shows how many subs are private: https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

I find it a good way to see how the situation is evolving as a whole.

I found the following comment on HN fairly insightful:

That’s why my guess was going to be: “financialization” … buy the company, profit like crazy by selling it assets and taking on debt, cut R&D budgets, cut marketing, provide fat compensation for C-suite and board… bankruptcy ~5 years later after someone else is holding the bag. The playbook is practically as American as baseball these days. Even more so when tax payers get to pay for the bail out.

I’ve seen it happen first hand, not all the way to bankruptcy, fortunately…

What are the plausible outcomes of this process? Will he be freed under bail? Put under house arrest? Jailed??
