Reddit gets almost zero revenue from the sub organizing it.
People aren't protesting Reddit in general, but a policy of reddit.
it’s funny to create a protest and hoping for change by showing Reddit that the community can walk away…and then using reddit to organize it.
You are basically showing you can’t think of any good alternatives to organizing or chatting with people. So you will continue to use Reddit, even during a protest specifically about not using reddit.
“we will leave you if you treat us badly” and then also “I have to use your product cause I can’t find anything else.” Doesn’t work well together.
> "I'm not addicted, I can quit anytime I want."
> "Okay then, prove it and quit today."
> "....No."
Why wouldn’t you use every available, easy to use mechanism to broadcast a message? Clearly the actual organizing is happening on a variety of channels including Discord.
Use every available and easy mechanism, unless your protest is about one of them.
Because continuing to use reddit broadcasts a different sort of message: they're a bunch of addicts who will come crawling back.

All the more reason for them to quit using reddit...
