Reddit CEO: Protests are a ‘lot of noise’ that ‘will pass’

Reddit CEO Steve Huffman on Monday told Reddit employees that he is unconcerned about current protests over the company’s sudden API changes. In a letter shared by The Verge, Huffman said that while there’s a “lot of noise” right now, it “will pass.” He also said that Reddit “has not seen any significant revenue impact so far.”

A number of community-moderated subreddits began shutting down and going private on Monday, June 12, with the blackout set to last until Wednesday, June 14 in many cases. Subreddits with millions of subscribers are participating in the protest. Going private means that no new posts are able to be submitted to a given subreddit, and in some cases, the content from the subreddit is not viewable at all.
