I'm devastated! Holy fuck it's the end of such a great resource. Is there any other plex share communities active at all?

But there are only so many Elon's that would buy a sinking ship for a shit ton of money.

That's the dumbest part. There's no guarantee that this ipo bid is going to pan out. Huffman is betting big, it's just too bad he's so full of himself that he doesn't realize his actions will probably be what causes this ipo to fail.

He wanted to fly under the radar and make changes that look good on paper while keeping the community relatively the same. Instead he made a splash so big that major news outlets are still talking about it months later, and now he's actively alienating the volunteer work that holds the whole site together.

Greed kills another thing, history of humankind.

Not sure if I'm misunderstanding your comment but.. it's an IPO, they're going from private to public. Twitter was the opposite, which is unusual. Right now Steve Huffman is the musk of reddit.

They still need people to actually buy the shares of a sinking ship.

There's gonna be plenty of institutional investors and index funds who don't give a shit about drama that will buy it up regardless.

For what? To lose money?
