Dude you want the Reddit protests to work but also that they don’t affect anyone? That’s literally the opposite of a protest. The important thing for a protest is to show how much someone depends on something to level the playing field for negotiations.
These are the exact things that make the protest effective. You admitted it yourself: because of this action, you had to find your information somewhere else. Isn’t that the point of the protest? Driving people away from Reddit to show the admins how critical their userbase is to their success?
I mean I get why you’re mad, but if you are pissed at spez and where Reddit is heading too, this is the wrong thing to be mad about.
Rather be mad the Reddit holds such a monopoly on this kind of knowledge that you can’t find it almost anywhere else.
