Its pretty funny that Huffman did all this to try to juice IPO price by ~10% and probably will end up dropping IPO price by 40% vs if he had done nothing.

I wonder what shareholders think of his 'leadership'.

I wouldn't assume this would drop IPO price. If it winds up making reddit more profitable, that is.

I would estimate 10+% of reddit has deleted their accounts, but most importantly, that 10% skews significantly toward 'power user'. Quality of content is already dropping apparently.

Not all investors will recognize that nuance, but 'reddit in chaos' was national news.

You'd be wrong.

I'd be surprised if it was 1%, even if we filter to daily active users.

Granted, 1% would still be a lot on this scale. So I'm not saying that as an insult.

OK, 10% of actually-active accounts. Reddit certainly has a huge number of zombie accounts - I think I have 3.
