It looks like a lot of people think the blackout is pointless and support Reddit's choice (www.reddit.com)

"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

People like to dig their head in the sand and pretend nothing is wrong. As long as their little lives aren’t disrupted, they go along with anything. I can’t say I entirely blame them, everyone just wants to come home from work/school and scroll on their stupid little app till they fall asleep and don’t have the energy to care. That’s literally what I do every night :/

But we have more power than we think. The first day of the blackout was great, people working together to say fuck you to capitalism, but going back to normal before any changes are made is not how protesting works.
