A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In what way? Reddit's outlook was a lot brighter before this thing started. Maybe they're not losing as fast as one would like but they are losing.
Reddit still has hundreds of millions of active users per month. They may have lost some people, but this many eyeballs has a huge potential for profit.
No longer being viable as a business would be "lost", not "losing", if you ask me. In the long term we'll see how many volunteer mods they can shed without the platform becoming shit.

Those are just users numbers, which didn't dip all that much even during the blackout. The doomscrollers will keep coming until it sucks.
