How Reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history

Users were outraged, but Reddit mostly won.

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

    I do really need sometimes. You know some movies/episodes hit so hard that impossible to not talk to others about it, but i have nobody irl that watch that type of stuff so i have to talk with internet strangers.

    Also yeah for mental health too.

      I miss imdb and rotten tomatoes having forums. It used to be nice when there were many different avenues for discussion wherever you went online.

      I did a search for tv and movie forum so came across this place

      https://www.avforums.com/forums/tv-show-forum.55/

      So there are places to discuss out there. Just have to break the habit of the one stop shop we got used to which has proved to be very problematic with how it has led to growth of companies like Facebook going from a social media company until it becomes so entrenched and hard to quit their influence started expanding beyond the startup that began without ads and treated users well, and stated gobbling up competitors and getting into new sectors.

      It all just seems like a simple social media, but it’s scary how that can quickly turn and next thing you know it’s another billion dollar corporation. Who knows how the growth people like us contributed to reddit will turn out. Might be we created another future Facebook type entity.
