Because of this lots more people got to know about reddits api problem… the bigger streamers had 100k viewers each and they worked together to create it. I would say it’s fair to assume that more than a million people could see this yesterday, because it was also on the twitch frontpage for a decent amount of time.
The german steamer’s manager even got a call by reddit if they need anything, a day before he helped to create this piece haha
I am not saying the effort was worthless, but the reality is it changed nothing. The admins road it out and the reddit user base (the vast majority) rolled over and accepted it.
Protesting reddit by being on reddit is worse than nothing. You are still pumping up traffic number to a site that has proven it does not give one shit what the users think.
Exposure in these numbers is worthless? Bad take imo.
I know you’re critical because you care, but it’s not stupid to protest within a wrong system. Some (most) people don’t have it as easy as us switching to other platforms like Lemmy. It’s always been predominantly the tech crowd. We’re privileged, because the structures are more known to us and therefore make it easier to switch.

And what did that achieve?
Nothing.
