Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care. (kbin.social)

Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

there's a degree of contrarianism but here's the other thing

a lot of people using reddit...really hated redditors. it's completely ironic and irrational but it's not an uncommon type of group think within a group. a lot of the "smaller" subreddits in general, and I mean smaller as in millions of users as opposed to tens of millions like the giant /r/pics or whatever. those people will probably celebrate what they see as the migration of the "bad" redditors and are against the protest because they see it as representing general/"bad" reddit

It's is 100% just kneejerk contrarianism. If there is one thing reddit is consistent about, it's being contrarian.
