    Makes sense, like 40% of the video content that gets to the front page is reposted tiktok videos. Even if all they do is add integration to the other platform (i.e a big Reddit button on dubsmash and first class support on reddit for playback of dubsmash videos) this is a synergistic merger.

          Seems like we get bigger every time reddit does something to annoy their users, so it'll be a lot less small real fast if they cut the old services. Seems like the people who would leave over that change are the ones that enjoyed the old reddit, and I think they'd be pretty comfy here.
