The open contempt they have for the reddit userbase as a whole is kinda admirable ngl

They want to change their userbase from middle aged IT nerds to TikTok kids.

I don’t think TikTok kids will want to moderate and curate communities and subreddits for free though. At least not with the current Reddit mod toolset. Especially without third party tools, apps and RES.

So there’s just a slight flaw in this plan. No big deal lol.

Well at least it’s a step up from their early title as “pedo social media”.

Yeah it’s seen as a weird nerd site or one step up from 4chan amongst most young people. I don’t think any amount of marketing will change that.
