its not the only way to ensure a community survives, forums have existed before reddit and will exist later. You even have examples of communities that left, created their own version of reddit and seem to be doing fine.

> Reddit leadership has already proven they only wish to harm both shareholders and the community at large under the guise of "increasing shareholder value" and shove their fiduciary duty under the bus.

reddit isn't a public company, so unless the current owners who are the ones putting all this in motion are looking into self-flagellation they haven't proven a thing. The reality is that reddit is huge, and most users couldn't care less about all this drama.

They're about to IPO though, which is what has led to all of this drama, so it's a fair criticism.

it's a fair criticism when you limit it to the users being affected, when you start talking about the owners(the current shareholders!) willingly eschewing fiduciary duty and damaging shareholders as if the owners were trying to hurt themselves it loses all meaning.

That seems like a strong statement. Currently on /r/all, top posts 1, 3, 5, 6, and 14 are all regarding this. Some pretty major subreddits are planning on joining in on the protests.
