Might as well delete your account now. Reddit Inc. won’t learn, they only care about their IPO, and making it profitable in the short term. The likelyhood of them going “Ok, we hear you and from now on we’ll focus on our users’ needs instead of quick profits” at this point is close to zero.

The way I see it, the function of this protest is to make a warning example of Reddit, so that other companies can see what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you.
