How Reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history
www.theverge.com
Users were outraged, but Reddit mostly won.

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    You’re never going to get everyone to switch. You get some people to start a community somewhere else, it starts to grow and become self sustaining, then there are options, and eventually the one without intrusive ads wins.

      Sadly seems to be the case now. I will eventually stop trying. People who will want to switch will switch either way.

        Yeah. I put a bug in my subreddit’s users ear and made a community over here. That’s about all I feel I ought to do. The subreddit had to move subreddits 4 years ago due to a bad moderator and it would be a bad look to push a move after the poll I made said most wanted to stay.

        They’ll be fine without me (there’s 2 other mods, and honestly I at least do minimal modding. I marked something as a spoiler last month. Jazzhands.)
