Reddit realized that they don't even have to try to hide the messaging. Their audience will stay, and think that they're making a difference by saying Fuck Spez everywhere
I'll be curious to see how much of an impact this has really made when someone gets around to publishing the metrics.
I would like to hope that Reddit has take a significant traffic hit due this whole API bullshit, but I honestly wouldn't be all suprised if it was less than 10%.

"Redditors are going to reddit" until they switch to Lemmy.

Primary takeaway from the whole "protest" and why it isn't going to change anything.

It's a spokesperson statement, not full reality

Exactly, if you take a spokesperson’s opinion for fact, lead would still be in gasoline and kids could vape in class.

But we are not redditors anymore.

We're a minority.

They are talking about the people who participated in that place thing, and they were by definition all redditors.

That’s the first decent bit of PR from Reddit in a looong time.

Which.. I’m now starting to realize is fine. It’s just not for me anymore.

I still browse Reddit, but only when I finish my Lemmy content lol.
It helps because I can still use Sync for Reddit with the Revanced workaround.
