Keep up the good work r/pics, this last one had me wondering if you were actually r/maliciouscompliance !
I don’t get why people are clinging to the idea that reddit will suddenly give a fuck. They are unprofessional, rude, liars. It doesn’t matter if they bend down and kiss your ass with a million false promises. They won’t follow through.
Look at what happened to interestingasfuck, they are approaching a week with no mods and completely locked down. You can easily make reddit implode themselves with their hubris of mods being easily replaceable. They have shown that is not true. Y’all will be removed anyway before the IPO, they won’t risk this again. So hurry up and let them implode before they have time to figure out an alternative before the IPO
Reddit does give a fuck, though. If they didn’t give fucks, they wouldn’t be trying to fuck with the protests (eg, by forcing subs open or removing mods). Whether or not Reddit would actually do any of the things protestors want is a different question, but clearly the protests do at least hurt Reddit and Reddit would dearly like them to stop.
I agree, I meant don’t give a fuck as in suddenly change their mind about the API changes. They give a lot of fucks about making everyone bend to their whim. They give so many fucks they will willingly shut down subreddits themselves
The protest was working and they should keep it going
what I don’t get is why someone would go out of their way to try and convince somebody else that a protest is meaningless while the protest is going on. why would you take time to convince others to stop, what is there even to gain from that? only reddit would want that. if the protest was truly meaningless you wouldn’t have to argue against at all. clearly the protest have an effect on you and on reddit.
