The goal was to make Reddit sellable.
Have they done that? I don't know. Probably.
Does that mean that they had to take their soul and dice it up, throw away all the juicy pieces and take the remnants and sell them on the black market to the lowest bidder?
Yeah.
Will I ever go back? Sources say no.
True. That's Reddit's goal though, not the protestors'. I think they'd rather the protestors leave, tbh.
I did go back for r/place, but I haven't touched reddit since. For me, the goal was/is to find a decent alternative so I won't have to put up with reddit. I found it so that's a win for me. Although I'm not gonna lie and say i may still visit for some info that I won't be able to find someplace else (reddit has acquired tons of useful information over the years, unfortunately).
