I keep looking back at what's happening with Reddit, not because I want to go back, but just morbid curiosity on if they will ever get their head out of their ass. The more I see, the more I feel the move to kbin was the right move. Removing mods, falsifying information, lying, deception, and just not listening to the community. Not only that, just looking at the content post blackout and it isn't the same anymore.

@markrprior I have my doubts that things will return to normal. Reddit has only promised mod tools and they haven't delivered on that promise. Until that time, moderators won't be able to run their bots to help moderate their respective subreddits properly. Until they deliver on those moderation tools, the subreddits are going to be in disarray. How long before users decide it's not worth it any longer? Reddit may somewhat recover from this, but I highly doubt they will entirely recover.

IMO it's a death knell (albeit a very long, drawn out death). Once public, that's when the real changes are going to occur that will sour the user experience, and it will be over the course of several months...even years. Then (as is shown in this case) investor/shareholder return becomes priority. The C-Suite won't care about the user, because once public the user is the product.
