"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 on reddit say the blackout is pointless, but it brought awareness to reddit's shitty behavior towards its community. Of course the 2 day protest would not bring down reddit, but it showed they don't care about the community concerns by not changing their stance at all. Why would I continue using that site then? These recent events have made me feel like not using reddit anymore so I won't.
