[22:55:51] <chromas> Who would even want to buy reddit? and why?
[23:25:14] <ted-ious> It's a stock ipo for the open market not a private sale like twitter.
[23:25:56] <chromas> Who would even want to buy reddit shares? and why?
[23:26:35] <ted-ious> The why is always money and I guess that determines the who.
[23:27:27] <ted-ious> I don't have inside information but if I had to guess I would say it's probably executives and investors who own most of the company who want to cash out and get rich.
[23:27:33] <Bytram> chromas: Someone who wants to buy the shares to see them to someone *else*!
[23:27:42] <chromas> I guess someone must want to buy a tardfest in order to steer the spergouts into some specific direction
[23:28:35] <ted-ious> Blackrock and vanguard can already steer the company just by picking up the phone and calling the right people.
[23:29:09] <ted-ious> Doing an ipo means that people will get lots of money instead of doing things for free.
[23:29:41] <chromas> hah
[23:29:55] <chromas> you-guys-are-getting-paid\?.jpg
[23:30:37] <ted-ious> The guys at the top will be for sure.
[23:31:04] <chromas> well hopefully it all goes well, but like twitter, everyone's allegedly leaving for other sites. I have yet to see it happen, but it totally is...any second now
[23:33:38] * Bytram doubt's that he has ever loaded Redit's front page.
[23:34:45] <chromas> it's basically slashdot if it was full of twitter users
[23:35:27] <chromas> in fact, ancient versions of their software is open source, so we should resurrect it and start a new site, like old times
