Do we know what percentage of visits are from not logged in visitors? I imagine that all the people that visit reddit through searches for information are not likely to be signing up for a account, so they will be losing a bunch of that traffic and ad revenue.
Putting all that community generated information behind a login screen is a massive loss even if you don’t use the site regularly.
Hell, I feel like the scraping problem still won’t be solved either since I can immediately see a repost/archive site being made that just mirrors reddit using account bots.
Host it in a country that doesn’t recognize US corporate law, and you’ve got an instant in to a massive userbase.
