At this rate, it’s like shouting against a wall and expect it to melt down by itself – spez gets a nice sum of money in his pockets each time someone goes to reddit to whine post about him.
I’m skeptical about that because if that was the case, why would they have needed to shake things up in the first place? They just make their profit and users continue using whatever front end they want. Instead they’ve burned bridges with people who were giving them free labour and have never been profitable.

I guess I’m kind of a big deal
All this is doing is driving up engagement for reddit. If you wanna protest then just stay off reddit. This isn’t to say I don’t enjoy seeing this, cause it is hilarious, but it’s still giving them what they want, engagement.
I don’t necessarily agree, if one persons short term engagement results in five people’s long term disengagements then it’s a net gain and a good investment!
It doesn’t hurt to use these opportunities to remind people of the reasons to abandon Reddit (and of course of all the various alternatives that exist).
