Despite mass protests by users and moderators, Reddit's unique communities look likely to survive the rebellion over the company's new business strategy.
Someone pointed out to me that Wired is tangentially owned by a company that advertises on Reddit, and has been the only place I’ve seen pro-Reddit news the last month. They have reason to keep people on there.
I think this is the explanation. I have also seen some anti-Reddit coverage on Wired, but it would not be hard for a Wired editor to convince someone to do an “it’s already fine again” article, especially if the writer hadn’t been following the drama. It’s not that hard to cherry-pick facts to make Reddit look like it’s not on fire, even though it kinda is.
