    Being enraged is also being engaged (see Fox News).

    So this was a great tactic because all the people that could have left reddit are still there yelling into the void.

      Exactly my thoughts. They saw a drop in traffic this month after the API changes killed 3rd party apps and just want to boost this month’s numbers so it doesn’t hurt their valuation and upcoming IPO further.

      I feel like those people are pretty dumb. Like, if they could all just leave and go elsewhere, they’d be much better off than yelling in circles and not getting anything accomplished.

      The website is obviously run by a crazy fuckhead CEO, so might as well go elsewhere - especially somewhere decentralized where that can’t be a problem.
