We all get that reddit is doing this intentionally right?
Like, all the nerds (hi it’s me) that are mad about the changes can make angry art, coordinate to really “send a message,” the event wraps up, everyone goes “wow we really did something here.” and then reddit moves on with it’s life.
/r/place is the “using change dot org to send a message to powerful people” of reddit.

I mean change dot org results in no change. This results in negative change because it’s driving traffic, boosting reddit’s numbers for the IPO.
Problem is it drives traffic and then doesmt stick, make the message unremovable or dont enguage there!
does reddit profit if I browse it with an ad blocker?
Indirectly yes, because they need to show high usage numbers likely.
