Reddit has 500 million MAU, and this is a conservative estimate. Youtube on the other hand, is sitting comfortably at 4x this number, 2 billion MAU.
Considering that, and the nature of the platform, I’m pretty certain they are too big to fail.

I think the difference is that each of us are contributing to a network instead of shouting into a void. Arguably, we are still shouting into a void, it just doesn’t have the chatmovingsofastnoonewillseeimgay effect yet. There’s an actual opportunity for engagement and discussion here though, for sure.
I think that given how forthcoming Christian’s been with this entire situation, if he were in a position where he could not feasibly put up that 250k it would be communicated. It’s no small amount of money, sure, but I think he’ll be alright. I can’t speak for anyone else, but if I was someone with an Apollo sub, I would refuse the refund without even thinking about it. Hopefully a large percentage of subscribed users agree with that sentiment, and in that case the cost should drop substantially.
