    Maybe it’s due to the Ghislaine Maxwell appeal, making her appeal public in late March, early April.

    For those unaware, there’s quite a convincing conspiracy theory stating that the first user to hit 1 Million Karma and the first power mod was Maxwell herself.

    Consider Reddit’s history of CP and Pedophilia within their admin team;

    • /r/JailBait

    • Numerous counts of pedophilia throughout the Powermod and Admin team

    • Extensive history of ignoring CP on their website.

    • Aimee Challenor


    Or because there’s a global depression coming up, and all the big cats are now cashing in. Who knows! :v

      If your first reasoning is correct, then odds are that they’re rushing the IPO before some new scandal blows up, and they’re led to believe that it will blow up soon. I wonder if there’s some reasonable / legal way to dig through this.

      If it’s the second reasoning, then raising uncertainty and doubt over the brand should make their shares cost less than toilet paper. Thankfully they’re already shooting their own trotters with this, but we (we = anyone, really) could encourage it by advertising Reddit as just a fancy pyramid scheme behind a forum system.

          Or we could promote its demise 😄 😄 😄

          I’ll probably [not sure] work tomorrow on the second version of the Razit flyer + text, to account for both things. Like, suspicious associations between Maxwell and Reddit, plus telling people that the boat is sinking.

      I’ve heard of that conspiracy theory before, but never looked into it. That collection of evidence is quite damning…

      Obviously it’s impossible to say conclusively – and the only people who would be able to find out the answer are the reddit admins.

        Just wait until you hear the Aaron Swartz conspiracies.
