Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout?
I couldn't find any info but what was the end result of the blackouts?
Did reddit agree or compromise, or did the movement run out of steam? Just curious if anyone knows..
There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

Reddit held its ground and lost countless dedicated knowledgeable mods and contributors. The overall user base didn't nosedive but there was a definite brain drain on the site.
Agreed. I used to be able to rely on adding "reddit" to my Google searches to get relevant and insightful information. That still works today (soon after the exodus), but the information there will slowly age out of relevance. By the time they figure that out it'll be to late for them to pull out.
