In fear of more user protests, Reddit announces controversial policy change

  1. The **best**, and simultaneously most effective, protest is *always*:

    Cease utilizing the site **100%**,  and *remove any possibility* of ad revenue en masse, while looping in solidarity of others *offline* to do the same.

    The benefit is — less stressed existence, increased mood, and more time to get out, touch grass, and smile knowing you’re effectively kneeing reddit’s “rules” right in the marbles.

    *In fear?* Bullshit. That little protest was a fucking embarrassment lmao

    All the basement dwelling mods had a little power trip for 48 hours (which they announced beforehand???) and it achieved literally nothing besides pissing off the users of the subs, and their anger wasn’t in solidarity of the protests.

    If anything, the ‘protests’ were an uncomfortable reminder for the loud users that just like in real life, they don’t actually have the power to change anything lol

  3. It’s funny coming across old comments that were redacted/mass deleted in protest by the user, but they’re still very active on Reddit lol.
