File that under "things that will never happen." Reddit is not going to reverse course. Period. So the data will be released and that will be the end of it.
I don't think that will be the end of reddit, a lot of platform that had data breaches is still there (with a lot worse reputation, but still there).
May be one more decline factor.
I think "end of it" refers to this particular situation, not of Reddit as a whole. Reddit may die from the API changes, but it will have nothing to do with this hack.
I didn't say that it would be the end of Reddit.
I said that would be the end of it. As in, the end discussion around releasing this hacked data.
It doesn't have to be the end of reddit, remember, myspace is still a thing
