I’m speculating, but at this point I don’t think the remaining Reddit protesters are doing this with the goal of having Spez reverse course. My guess is that they know its a lost cause, and are just operating out of spite, i.e. you destroyed something I care about (reddit) so I’m going to destroy something you care about (willingness of advertisers to participate in a hostile platform).

From a practical perspective I totally agree though. Frankly, this whole debacle has made me realize that I stopped actually enjoying Reddit in like 2017 - there was just nothing good to move to before the explosion of Lemmy this year.
