I read The Verge’s latest interview with Steve Huffman here and it seems as though the Reddit blackout is having little to no effect. It also seems as though the communities at large don’t really care and will probably just use the official app or don’t really know there are 3rd party ones. So it seems this will pass and be mostly forgotten about.
What are your thoughts?
Personally I don’t care if the protest is having an effect or not because it’s been already said that it will not change reddit’s policies. Reddit is over for me, I’m just waiting for the API changes so that i can’t use my mobile client of choice anymore. In contrast, I’m finding interesting and vibrant discussions and comments on here, which is looking like the early Reddit days, and I’m very glad for this.
