Making up new rules everytime there's a new protest won't work
People will just come up with new inventive ways to fuck reddit over, and everytime reddit makes a new rule up, they'll be articles like this giving the protest free press and making reddit look like jackasses
Riiight, everyone should protest in a way that doesn't inconvenience them or their advertisers, I bet they'd find that acceptable... I know, how about a mass protest by buying protest- themed NFT avatars? That would be acceptable, wouldn't it? /s
This means it's working. It would be useless if the admins didn't get upset.
"You're hurting our ad revenue. Stop that at once. It's unacceptable!"
Being a massive liar and dickwad is unacceptable, the communities are just giving what spez had coming.
Does this corporation have a board? What the fuck are they doing exactly? I mean it's private, so it's probably just a bunch of buddies, but there's been a ton of seed funding at Reddit, no?

This is going to be textbook business class case material for years to come.
They sold to Conde Nast, a giant media conglomerate.
Conde transferred ownership one level up the food chain. So the people in charge aren't used to any kind of media, let alone social media.

Non disruptive protests aren't protests. They're glorified circle jerks.
Are most people on reddit even familiar with what is going on, or even care that the ceo is basically calling them milk cows that will get slaughtered if they stop producing milk?
I think they don't know what's going on or don't care. I don't either. Reddit started to suck long before this api crisis.
I'm over reddit. Let's move on guys.
