    Protesting Reddit by posting entertaining content to Reddit makes as much sense as protesting Bud Lite by buying lots of it to destroy in a high-profile stunt.

      I think it’s a little different, but not by much. Yes, it still contributes content and drives users to the site but it’s not content they’re looking for and it’s inevitably going to die down and that’s the part I’m looking forward to.

      Protest is about generating attention. Sometimes that has to be within the system still. A lot of noise was made, and the people to whom spez’s behaviour (fuck u/spez) was poor enough to be worth looking elsewhere have started to do just that.
