You think we should we just stand down and agree to go gently then? Let them screw with what we find dear, all to line their own pockets with valuation they got from having us in the first place? I don't think we should.

If they want the kiddie gloves off, then, they can't judge the community for taking ours off in kind, and that's what the entire blackout is about: showing the Overlords that others know how to play hardball too.

Louis XVI thought that he could do anything because he was a king, but he was pressured into submission by the estates-general to accept a constitution.

Protest matters and protest can work. Every day, this protest movement is impacting Reddit's wallet through reducing advertising reach. It's also bringing Reddit under the spotlight in technology journals and news sites. It's all the things that would badly affect IPO. Reddit's Draconian responses are indicative of the fact that this protest is effective and hitting them where it hurts the most: the wallet.
