How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    You’re never going to get everyone to switch. You get some people to start a community somewhere else, it starts to grow and become self sustaining, then there are options, and eventually the one without intrusive ads wins.

      Sadly seems to be the case now. I will eventually stop trying. People who will want to switch will switch either way.

        Yeah. I put a bug in my subreddit’s users ear and made a community over here. That’s about all I feel I ought to do. The subreddit had to move subreddits 4 years ago due to a bad moderator and it would be a bad look to push a move after the poll I made said most wanted to stay.

        They’ll be fine without me (there’s 2 other mods, and honestly I at least do minimal modding. I marked something as a spoiler last month. Jazzhands.)
