    Yes, but also ‘bringing back a classic’ and having it wash away the controversy would also suit Reddit’s goal. I assume they plan to spin it favorably in any case.

    I personally think the better plan is to shift focus back to where it should be - the people. Making Reddit look the fool in the court of public opinion matters more to me than Reddit’s shareholders, present or future.

      They won’t look the fool, anyone that matters will be shown an edited version of place with no protests and a chart showing fantastic engagement numbers that the protests caused. Visiting that site is just helping Steve’s IPO and we shouldn’t be doing that

        “Hey, look here dear investor. So many people on Reddit!” - “Ah, great,… But why does everyone hate this spez guy? Who is that?” - “Oh, I have no idea what the nerds came up with. You want another glass of champagne?”
