Besides Reddit and Fediverse sites, how much do people know about what is going on?

I bet not much.

It was front page news today for CNBC and MSN

quite a few general tech sites and business/financial sites have been reporting it. if it might be of concern to investors, you can be sure its getting reported.

Reddit, particularly the AMA and the blackout, have been broadly covered repeatedly over the past week by global media including targeted business media (BBC, The New York Times, Bloomberg, The Japan Times, Reuters, Toronto Star, CBC, Business Insider India, NASDAQ.com, just to name a few). This coverage in traditional media cannot help (1) valuation estimates of Reddit or (2) acceleration of an IPO if either is the goal of u/spez's current posture toward Apollo, etc. Reddit's management practices appear a catastrophic mess to the investor community which is the worst possible outcome for u/spez's longevity as CEO.

Well that's certainly hopeful news.
