I must admit I did not expect such a wide turnout for the blackout. There’s absolutely no way something this massive goes unnoticed by investors, although I doubt it will cause anyone to change course. Hell, even if they do change course I’m fucking done with Reddit.
Hopefully, at least it shows everyone that Reddit is nothing without the communities formed by their users, and how important accessible third-party API access is to Redditors who genuinely care about the website.
Damn, just hit half of all tracked subreddits.

Unfortunately I don’t really know what two days of only most of reddit being private willd do.
