I feel like Spez doesn't give two tiny rat shits about anything but the fact that this counts as more engagement, which he can leverage to call Reddit more valuable.
It should be one giant fediverse ad.
Oh that makes sense. He gets to tweak the active users numbers to minimise the loss but call it community engagement. Then he shows the investors that number and they think the protest hype is overblown. Plus keep CPI income from advertisers coming in while trying to pivot to crypto bullshit.
He's probably laughing his ass off at this form of "protest". It's functionally equivalent to when people get mad at a company so they buy their product and destroy it on social media.
Think about what Spez wants, and do the opposite.
The protests are also making it to more mainstream media like The Independent. Extra name recognition will be great in the less techy demographics.
Always great to be about to look back at these things over the years and see how it's progressed. Be great to see if a majority of the 2023 place was filled with "fuck Spez", exactly what he deserves
