First subreddit over 10M to go private. The message shown when trying to enter the sub is a quote from spez:

I think the problem Digg had is that it was a company that was built to be a company, and you could feel it in the product. The way you could criticize Reddit is that we weren’t a company – we were all heart and no head for a long time. So I think it’d be really hard for me and for the team to kill Reddit in that way. Steve Huffman, CEO of Reddit, April 2023

    I don’t really follow too well. Is this just turning private and they continue to use with the community they have or will they just point blank stop posting on that sub?

      Going private means nobody can view or post in the sub unless manually added by the mods. Presumably they won’t be adding anyone since that defeats the purpose, so yeah, nobody can view or post.

      No, it means the subreddit inaccessible to everyone except mods and admins. It’s effectively suspended to everyone else.
