How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? (www.theverge.com)

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?

Too many want a 1 for 1 replacement at this moment. They can't see that it will take some time to grow.

Or they want/hope things to go back to normal. Change is hard for many. But more and more intrusive ads are coming.

I think when the IPO happens and mods hear about how many tens of millions spez made off their unpaid labor, more mods will question why they are doing it.
