“This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website.”

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

    There’s definitely a lot more people bots vocally disagreeing with the blackout now.

    FTFY.

    Of course, there are indeed plenty of real people, along with bots, disagreeing. Their daily Reddit routine has been disrupted, and they don’t like it. Of course, these folks aren’t generally affected (so far) by API changes, so they just want things to go back to what they were. They don’t understand what is coming, given the mod issues, etc.

      I think the vast majority of people just want to browse without any disruptions, tbh. A lot of people are calling them bots but I think many of them are probably real people.
