I mean don’t get me wrong, its cool a lot of subs have and still are participating in the blackout, but I think it wouldve been better to link a new home for the subreddits participating somewhere in the private message. Show spez, hey if you dont change, we aren’t going to use your site (or use it less).
You don’t have to scare Spez, you have to scare advertisers and investors. If the blackout were announced to be indefinitely, I imagine it would certainly cause people to act. Of course that would mean more people stick to Reddit if they reduce their unreasonable pricing.
