Chances Reddit did this on purpose to hide the content blackout?
It just makes the blackout look more successful honestly. Pretty dumb of them but they haven't been making great decisions lately.
I don't know. My best bet is that it's a happy coincidence for them. It's probably just an actual accidental outage, but it can be spun in a few different ways. Given their push for an IPO, I wouldn't be surprised if this is an excuse for lower traffic numbers. "Hey, look, these guys all went to protest but there was an outage. Nothing correlates the numbers. Now that we're back up on XYZ date, everything is returning to normal! It was no big deal!"
If it actually turns out to be something more nefarious, I can't say I'd be surprised, but I sincerely hope that isn't the case.
Boy, sure would be nice to live in a world where investors weren't dumber than flat earthers.
there may be some unfortunate overlap in those populations, you donβt have to be smart to make money
I can believe that considering how often they have them. I had subbed to outage emails a while back and days where I don't get any are rare.
Anyone feel like Spez is shooting out the lights on his way out?
