While this is funny, it drives traffic to the site so it's the equivalent of people buying Nike shoes to then burn as protest. The company is still making money and they're getting free advertising.
A better protest would be to delete Reddit accounts, uninstall the apps, and see how long you can go without hearing or thinking about reddit.
This is what I did after the disastrous AMA.
Deleted my history with reddact.
Uninstalled Reddit.
Uninstalled Apollo (crying).
I won't go on this platform anymore.
Although I'm missing some 'niche' communities such as antkeeping or those about specific incremental games..
Now I'm trying to filter all the communities that are on this topic.
Even if it's on the fediverse, speaking about Reddit gives them more visibility.
