I was looking at reddit today, and the front-page felt like nothing happened. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and clicked into comments. Everything is popping off buzzing with activity. All the subreddits I was subscribed to that went dark are now back up and business as usual.
I knew we were a minority, but I didn’t expect this level of apathy. It feels like Spez was 100% right and this did in fact blow over. What’s your take on it it? I didn’t expect Reddit to immediately be a failure, but man I guess I expected a bigger impact than that.
I’m also thinking about the ongoing Hollywood writers strike. I still use my streaming subscriptions oblivious to the fact that the industry is largely at a standstill. The blackout is great for raising awareness but it’s a whimper compared to the rebellion we were hoping for.
