My thoughts exactly, this is still generating a lot of traffic for reddit, and more proves the point that it doesn’t matter what they pull, as long as they do some cool stuff that only happens on Reddit, people will still go. Maybe using place for advertising the fediverse would be better but even then, still using the system. Don’t know the answer, just not sure this is as effective as we would hope.

I do love the visual protest, but do you not have to go on Reddit to access space? Still giving them lot’s of traffic for the sake of something that may not even appear on the admins radar just seems a little ineffective. Again, love the protest, I just wonder about its efficacy.

Also it’s kind of crazy to me the amount of traffic it gets every. Single. Time. I know they have a bot issue, but do people just like that they know they have a popular opinion and just want to see rhe up votes or is it just one of those “watch the same movie 15 times for the comfort of it” type things. Either way I find it wild.
