Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care. (kbin.social)

Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating scores.

See the NFL thread if you don't mind sending traffic

Yep this is the truth. The vast majority of users just go there and scroll and click through stuff. They don't really care. They were inconvenienced by the blackout and want it back to normal.

The real consequences are that a significant chunk of the active and power users have left the site now.

I haven't deleted my reddit account either. I have definitely noticed that my feed on reddit has less interesting content now.
