It looks like a lot of people think the blackout is pointless and support Reddit's choice (www.reddit.com)

"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

I think it's important to remember a lot of people participating in the blackout are still on a break from Reddit and aren't commenting on these kinds of posts.
Anyway, we did indeed "just find another app or website", so we're good.

Yup a lot of good has come of this.

Then how does that explain that post on r/gaming with funding 68k up votes?

That's....a lot.
