    What’s the betting he’ll back down in some way (which was the plan all along)? That way they’ll get what they originally wanted but will look as if they’ve “listened”.

    I’m not sure I believe that will happen though, tbh.

      I would put money on that not happening at all. The suite of changes this time are exceptionally broad and seem 100% targeted at public investment. They can’t back-down on deciding to go public, and they can’t really go public with some of these things in place.

        Yeah I don’t expect anything to happen either. The big “blackout” having a predetermined duration of 48 hours is a joke. Reddit can just sit it out and be done with it. After reading the farewell post of the Apollo dev it also seems like Reddit is doubling down on their pricing model with no leeway.

          I do find it odd that they chose the protest to be only 48 hours. What are they hoping to accomplish then? All spez has to do is wait for the 48 hours to end and resume his normal operations.
