Yeah, they just don’t have a lot of leverage with Reddit in this struggle.

It’s spez’ sandbox, and it’s our own fault for building sandcastles in it.

Some of them believed that their free labor was somehow irreplaceable or maybe just worth something, and that should mean they had some leverage, but Reddit’s answer has been a resounding “lol no.”

But that’s the reason it’s an open letter. Not to convince Reddit to stop being shitty, because they’ve been rather clear that they’re committed to this, but to convince anyone else that Reddit is maybe not good, which might in turn impact whatever metrics they care about, and maybe finally provide some sliver of leverage.

I don’t like their odds, but they’re trying.
