For some it ain't much about the result, just the principle of taking a stand against something they precieve as not right.

I get what he was going for, even if he phrased it in a shitty way. His problem was more the mods that caved in and went back, not with the ones who said "I'm done" and stuck to thier guns.

While there'll undoubtably be much more people coming to here and other places given time (I wasn't there when people left Digg en mass for Reddit, but I highly doubt it happened in days, or even a year or two), I can't help but also look at those that went back and think "Would have been better if yall just cut the cord and left Reddit behind completely" because it's not changing.

Regardless, he was right about not giving a time limit when drawing a line in the sand

Fair enough. I can respect your opinion even tho I don't necessarily agree that a peaceful revolution is the way to go here (to be clear, I'm not saying that peaceful protests aren't effective and don't have thier place, they absolutely do. I just personally don't think people like Spez or Musk will listen to one. They seem to be the type that need to be sat down and made to listen)

Although who knows...some people are commenting here that this is going to drive value for Reddit down if it keeps going, and if that's the case, I'd say "keep painting Reddit John Oliver"...but the point is to not stop until this is no longer something that'll just "blow over".

I kinda agree, as funny as this is.

Now if anyone ACTUALLY wants to not help Reddit, upload a gig or 5 of just noise just playing in a video and cause the site to crash: apparantly some folks on Twitter are doing so, with instructions
