    A Reddit spokesperson declined to comment about this year’s edition of r/Place, telling Polygon via email “redditors are going to reddit.

    Primary takeaway from the whole “protest” and why it isn’t going to change anything.

    Reddit realized that they don’t even have to try to hide the messaging. Their audience will stay, and think that they’re making a difference by saying Fuck Spez everywhere

      I still browse Reddit, but only when I finish my Lemmy content lol.

      It helps because I can still use Sync for Reddit with the Revanced workaround.

    I’ll be curious to see how much of an impact this has really made when someone gets around to publishing the metrics.

    I would like to hope that Reddit has take a significant traffic hit due this whole API bullshit, but I honestly wouldn’t be all suprised if it was less than 10%.

    But we will wait and see.
