Read all about it at the above link. There's way too much to process here. This is going to be wild.
You do know what sorts of shit redditors put up with right? They will choose to "protest" like on r/place but they will probably forget about it 3 days later.
Reddit is a part of peoples lives now. Just like how people don't leave twitter, instagram, facebook and all those other sites even after all of the bad shit people like zuckerberg and elon musk did to them, they won't leave reddit.
I dunno, man. That statement is not without some merit, but it's still a bold take when you're posting right now in a community full of people who did exactly that.
You would be right if more people left reddit. Most people I saw didn't leave and those that "left" generally returned after some time. A lot of people left which is why a lemmy gained a lot of traction but I assure you they are lower than 5% of reddit's userbase, which is why reddit continues with these stupid actions, they know they won't lose any money.
