I wish there was an alternative to leaving Reddit

I wonder if there will be a massive short of Reddit's stock, like what happened with GME.

I will be shorting the hell out of any IPO, assuming one even happens at this point.

If reddit does IPO I 100% for sure am buying puts. Only enough to the point if I lose the money it wont hurt me but enough money that if reddit tanks I can make a decent chunk if change.

Once the consequences sink in for ruining Reddit's engagement to get a better valuation, the stock price will tumble. I think it's a terrific opportunity for some puts.

I think it'll go up at first because they'll convince people all the whiners are 'just' superusers that make up 2% of the site, then tank when they realize that 2% is 50% of content and moderation.
