    The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

    Because long-term nobody knows, as places like right here are continuing to develop and grow, are quickly becoming a viable alternative, ever more active, in a positive feedback growth cycle.

      So many people said this whole situation wouldn’t end Reddit, like the end of Reddit would be some big huge sudden bang when the apps turned off.

      They couldn’t seem to grasp the idea that it could be the end of the Reddit we knew with a huge injection of new users to potential replacements. Only time will tell.
