Lol I'm posting on both here and Reddit. I'm kind of enjoying the drama even though I don't have a strong opinion about the API controversy personally.

So far the event went as expected. Reddit seems to be back and will continue to live on. It's really unfortunate. I was hoping that this event could the the catalyst to break the monopoly. A 2-day protest just doesn't cut it. And while I was keeping an eye on it a couple of really big subs were still "discussing" whether they'd got dark or not. If subs go dark one by one it just doesn't have the same effect as a concerted, well organised simultaneous blackout. Without a fixed time.
With that much impact all combined subs could have made a difference. But they botched it.
