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.
Not exactly. I think the advertisers will start to ask some uncomfortable questions, as will any inverstors for the IPO.
I started learning to use photoshop instead of braindeadly scrolling Reddit. It’s more peaceful and enjoyable.
