That won’t change anything. The financial incentives from investors driving this will demand similar policies even if they get redressed in different marketing.

United we stand in shitting on the Nazis.

Agreed. I’ll keep shitting on the Nazis.

But seriously, your post makes some strong assumptions with nothing to back them up. For example that depriving advertisers from impressions from a shit ton of users (due to the missing content) and therefore depriving Reddit from that revenue would hurt less than leaving those impressions but attach more garbage content to the ads. If anything, more enshittified platforms like Facebook and garbage media like Fox have proven that advertisers can live with quite a bit of shit around their ads. And so the assertion that this is some 4D chess move on the side of the Nazis doesn’t hold water for me.

The time-limited strike argument is also flimsy. Nothing stops the mod community to do this again next week for longer or even indefinitely. The time limit doesn’t guarantee Reddit that this won’t happen again and for longer. And so I don’t see how that’s less scary than indefinite strike.
