That will never happen, it would destroy their search engine results that lead traffic to their site more than what they get from regular users.

Lol yeah, sure. Because as we all know, Reddit definitely doesn’t have a well deserved decade+ reputation for half-baked decisions and dealing self-inflicted blows to its own business.

Hey guys, we should let the most dedicated and toxic moderators, moderate even more with multiple subs!

Hey guys, let's like, buy an app, and like, ruin it!

Hey guys, let's redesign the site to be less space and data efficient.

Hey guys, let's roll our own video player! Who here knows anything about video players? Anyone?

Hey guys, let's add random coins and gifts and avatars and let's dive into the crypto scene! We can't lose!

Hey guys, let's go public! What could go wrong?

Hey guys, we should shun all our porn communities!

Hey guys, let's force all apps except ours to pay us or gtfo!

Hey guys, let's stop showing up in Google results! Who needs search?

Hey guys, let's force logins like X!

They should ask accounts to do phone number verification! It's been working out wonderful for Twitch!

Hey guys, let's fake a data breach and sell all our user's personal information on the dark web!
