    I think it’s pretty amusing to see the anti protest comments whenever redditors get up in arms about an issue. There’s always this reactive impulse (in some) to downplay it as a tempest in a teapot that’ll never work.

    But if Reddit admins are so resistant despite the horrific optics, it must be important. They’re creating terrible sentiment right ahead of IPO. You don’t do that shit unless you have no choice. The fact that massive protests don’t work proves it matters to everyone involved. QED.

    Besides, sometimes you protest not to change things, but so that shit doesn’t change you. Otherwise you’ll take whatever comes your way and you’ll be dead long before you’ve stopped breathing.
