    I’m speculating, but at this point I don’t think the remaining Reddit protesters are doing this with the goal of having Spez reverse course. My guess is that they know its a lost cause, and are just operating out of spite, i.e. you destroyed something I care about (reddit) so I’m going to destroy something you care about (willingness of advertisers to participate in a hostile platform).

    From a practical perspective I totally agree though. Frankly, this whole debacle has made me realize that I stopped actually enjoying Reddit in like 2017 - there was just nothing good to move to before the explosion of Lemmy this year.

      Yes Reddit was in the advantageous position of being “it”. People promoting spez hate must realize they’re never going to get Reddit back. They’re just doing it out of spite for losing something. The best protest is to just move on and forget about them.
