“We’re about to do some more stupid shit to our platform that nobody wants/likes, so let’s make it harder for people to tell us it sucks before we do said stupid shit”
Sure, but that is a really lengthy process. Reddit would really like to avoid that, too. They want the moderators to be good little slaves and nothing more.
Gonna require much more effort to do it, likely won't be considered peaceful or legal protests but it'll still be possible. Events like this offer a solution, a much more ugly and unpleasant one but a solution regardless. Every company has security holes, Reddit is no different. They can only deny the peaceful kind of protest, not the kind that would really hurt them.
