I just hate the stock Reddit app so much. Maybe in the future I’ll use it on desktop. Third party apps are really the only reason I was on Reddit so much lol

For better or for worse, spez was correct in claiming that this will just blow over. People in general are shit at boycotts, redditors doubly so - there's barely any group cohesion or leadership there.

The people who see an issue with reddit's current behavior have left, the others will just keep going on a much shittier platform. As it has ever been.

I have a feeling many of those critical to the protest don't yet fully grasp what a Reddit without 3rd party apps will look like. They'll soon find out how shit the base experience is without those apps. And we all know old.reddit won't stay around for long either

I’m honestly so disappointed. People arguing that this is all a “powertripping mods” thing. They can fuck off, and scared mods can too.

Or maybe /u/spez is manually changing vote counts, as he did before when modifying user comments without saying so.

A mix of the ones who actually care not being active on Reddit, along with astroturfing from Reddit itself. Plus, there's always the counter-protest types that whine and scream about everything.

People are so weak when it comes to shit like this. Nobody cares about their obligations anymore and it weakens the fight for thoes that care. Not just talking about the reddit blackout. Feels like this is the case with many things in life…
