    I doubt most users care about the IPO directly. What does it matter if the platform is owned by a few scumbags or many?

    But as we know, pressure to attain profitability may push Reddit to introduce increasingly user-hostile features. This is where the possibility for the next revolt lies.

        That user base is a drop in the ocean compared to most of reddits user base, and those people have all left already.
