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?

It always amazes me that these idiots don't have a think tank which has great ideas for them and can tell them when their own ideas are shit.

If I was rich. Absolutely 100% would do this. It would be like cheating at life.

It seems like everyone who runs a large social media platform believes we live in a meritocracy and they're somehow geniuses.

Naw, cheating at life is if your Daddy owns an emerald mine in apartheid South Africa, then you get smart people to do the thinking and PR for you.

There's a risk that you'll start to believe your own PR and try to do it yourself, though. I can't imagine that going well.
