I love that the CEO calls the users voicing their displeasure "noise".

When those users voice opinions on other things, it's called content. When those users voice their opinions against reddit, it's noise.

Hoffman continues to display a fundamental misunderstanding of what Reddit is.

The very people that give your platform its value are revolting against you, and you think it's noise.

What's your product? What do you create? In what way will Reddit thrive only with what you put into it? Where do you think the content you lace your ads between comes from?

My personal (cynical) bet is that Huffman actually understands what Reddit is better than us, and Reddit will be just fine after this.

To be completely honest, if a two-day blackout is proven to be the most serious "protest" the community can do, I'll buy Reddit stock when it IPO.

We still don't know what the impact will be of Instagram's upcoming Twitter clone.

It does look like more of a hybrid between Twitter and Reddit with the threaded conversations and nerd-friendly API layer i.e. ActivityPub.
