Recently, Reddit co-founder and Serena Williams’  husband, Alexis Ohanian, shared his concern over the changing policies of the platform.

Serena Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian feels Twitter might go the Diggs way

The Reddit co-founder recently dwelled upon the $8 dollars for the blue tick announcement of Twitter’s CEO, Elon Musk. Ohanian feels that it would not be beneficial for the platform.

Additionally, he also feels that it can jeopardize the well-renowned platform and can lead to its downfall. A similar thing happened with Reddit’s predecessor Digg, which made similar changes and eventually saw its end, which came too soon.

He stated, “For years I dreaded they would launch their own version of “subdiggs” modeled after subreddits with mods, etc. only with better mod tools from day 1. Would’ve run over us, I think.”
