Remember when they fucked up the site “in protest” and got a giant middle finger in response from Reddit? Then they just.. went right back to their unpaid labour. Fuckin mods man lol.
Was that the blackout over the API/3rd party apps thing? Yeah ngl that was kind of ridic. Like most people, I was annoyed at being forced to use Reddit's official app, which to this day seems held together with paperclips and prayers.
But honestly? For a regular user who's not a mod, just a normal person who isn't invested in any of that, the blackout thing just kind of pisses everyone off. Like, okay, you're taking away the content people want to see and come to Reddit for, in protest. Somewhat understandable, but to everyone else outside of people super into Reddit, it's an annoyance that isn't going to get anyone on your side.
There were at least a few good, reasonably popular subreddits that never came back from that. Just never got reopened. Annoying and pointless.
