That's kind of the point, though.

If people weren't bothered, why would reddit need to change?

that's how strikes work, you know

So before normal users came we would tell people to RTFM, most of what was on there was posted from manuals often paraphrased (yes I get how that can help). There is very little on reddit that cannot be found in other locations though I will admit there are likely a handful of subs that did some unique stuff. Side effect of being primarily a link aggregator.

Also encourage people to back up before shredding.

That's good. The very core point of a protest is to be disruptive, that's how it works.
