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?

    The fact that the Reddit API scandal has now been spun into some ‘battle’ of salty users vs Reddit is, in microcosm, a win for Reddit. By all appearances, when viewed under that lens, they ‘won’.

    It was never a struggle, it was a statement of intent. And that statement of intent has, in my opinion, been actioned because here we are now, with a promising alternative.

    Reddit will probably flourish under its new guise, accepting that isn’t a sort of capitulation. Just move on.
