There are already reports of some large subreddits shutting down permanently, such as programming humor.
The idea that this action can’t possibly hurt Reddit I keep seeing is amazing to me. It absolutely will hurt Reddit. Even if it’s not an existential blow. Reddit took a long time to get to where it is. Simply saying it can absorb all this like it’s nothing is myopic.
And FWIW, I’m glad most people aren’t as cynical as you, and willing to attempt to change things.
