    This article is a few days old and looks like someone drinking spez’s kool-aid wrote it. I’d be interested to see what things look like in a month.

      It should be fully expected to see PR articles supporting a company with an approaching IPO. There will be FLOODS of these. They will astro-turf every corner of the internet.

      Yeah, it’s on “a” rebound, but the old Reddit is dead. How long will the new version last is unknown. It will still be there for a long time as Google results for things, so long as those links work, but it hasn’t been the “front page” of the internet for a while due to bots and such, and just like that went away, so will it being considered THE place to discuss things.

        I think this is the explanation. I have also seen some anti-Reddit coverage on Wired, but it would not be hard for a Wired editor to convince someone to do an “it’s already fine again” article, especially if the writer hadn’t been following the drama. It’s not that hard to cherry-pick facts to make Reddit look like it’s not on fire, even though it kinda is.
