I feel that mods do have the right to the blackout more than Louis believes. Mainly because they have been free labor. The site depends on free labor to maintain order and always has. Alternatively they could just stop moderating and let each subreddit fall into a useless free for all.
I think you hit the mail on the head. All social media succeeds based on their power users and community. If just a small amount of people switch, the platform sto of s exponentially growing which looks bad for advertising. Especially if all these people are the small percentage that helped moderate the entire platform.

Fully agree.
Also, I saw several subs who asked their members if they should join the blackout, so it’s not really fair to say mod decided top down.
