I never understood why they decided to come back Wednesday to begin with. Protests don’t work when you schedule an end date.

It’s a lower barrier to entry. It’s much easier to get people/subreddit to join the protest if they know it’s limited in time.

Then once they started the protest it’s easier to extend it indefinitely.

Exactly. It’s like saying you’re going to go on strike for two days and then come back. Like, the employer will just feel more validated in their actions if you do that.
