I think it's pretty amusing to see the anti protest comments whenever redditors get up in arms about an issue. There's always this reactive impulse (in some) to downplay it as a tempest in a teapot that'll never work.
But if Reddit admins are so resistant despite the horrific optics, it must be important. They're creating terrible sentiment right ahead of IPO. You don't do that shit unless you have no choice. The fact that massive protests don't work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.
Besides, sometimes you protest not to change things, but so that shit doesn't change you. Otherwise you'll take whatever comes your way and you'll be dead long before you've stopped breathing.
Great way to put it!
Whoa. That shit’s deep man. I’m totally stealing it.
I stole it too. Megustalations
This logic assumes logical thinking. While I think you're right -- there's some factor at play that has not been publicized -- this could still be nothing more than an ego trip.
I do think protests achieved so much. They made a lot of noise, put spez's terrible handling of the situation under the spotlight right before IPO.
And honestly, even if spez doesn't go back on the API pricing (which he probably won't), having subreddits protesting and fleeing to the fediverse puts the writing on the wall for other shitty platforms (current or to come).
Back when Elon started destroying twitter I did not get how mastodon worked, but I do see myself working around it now I figured out kbin (although Im not on twitter all that much to justify switching right now), can imagine is the case for anyone fleeing to the fediverse.
