While he’s probably right, the blackout is giving Reddit users the chance to return to old sources of news and entertainment, or encouraging them to try new communities like Lemmy. Ideally the blackouts continue, but I think the biggest threat to Reddit is a long-game when other alternatives become viable.
That actually sounds really nice, I’ll have to look into RSS. Scrolling over the same stuff has been my main annoyance about Reddit and YouTube for a while

I’ve been using beehaw, but more important Feedly (RSS) because:
I can subscribe to YouTube channels, Reddit/Lemmy communities, and independent websites. That’s all my stuff in one place!
It’s algorithmically ranked, but I control the algorithm.
I can get to “inbox zero” and don’t re-see stuff I already read. No more doom scrolling.
I’ve love rss. I’m using feeder. I’ve ditched a lot of the things I use to go on like Twitter and Reddit. I’m mostly on discord, but that’s dwindling.
