Hundreds of people are putting money on whether the company will back-track on its new API pricing policy or oust its CEO Steve Huffman, BetUS told Insider.

The online betting company said there was “very close heat” over whether Reddit will reverse its new pricing policy.

“So far, the betting public seems very much “at odds” and are undecided on this one so far,” it said.

Almost all bets have been on Huffman still being CEO by December 31, BetUS added.

    Let’s just bet on a replacement for Reddit. It has run its course.

    To be honest, I’ve been dissatisfied with Reddit for quite a while now but just didn’t realise it. Once I dipped my toes into the Fediverse I realised what it was I’d been missing: that sense of community that Reddit used to have before it became too big, too cold and too corporate. In my defence I used RIF for years and was shielded from the worst excesses of corporate culture. After setting myself up on Lemmy and getting a bit of a handle on what’s what I’m really enjoying the sense of intimacy and DIY ethos. It’s far more like the Reddit I used to know. It feels good to be back.

      Same. I’ve really been enjoying Kbin. More than I’ve enjoyed Reddit in years.

      When Relay for Reddit goes down, that site is dead to me. If someone can make a Relay-quality app for Kbin it’s game fucking over haha.

      The only thing I’m going to miss is /r/askhistorians. What a great subreddit.

      I generally post in search of comments rather than upvotes, and I feel like Kbin/Lemmy are a lot better about that than Reddit. On Reddit, a post with only 50 upvotes is probably dead and will only get like 3 comments, meanwhile here it’s easy to get a huge number of comments with even a comparably small number of votes.
