    Can someone explain why going dark for 48 hours would make Reddit’s response unexpected? Basically they just need to bear 48 hours and then no consequences? What’s the motivation to overturn the API decision?

      I mean, if the motivation to overturn the decision is because of longer protests, then reddit might as well be gone. We want reddit to be a community. No amount of protest can build a community.
