You think that's going to stop them from doing whatever they're doing?

Except only harm people who come from search results to find a lone solution for a problem that's since been deleted.

He's usually right. When he says this, he's quite absolute about it. It's just a matter of time.

This is the single best way to tell Reddit that what they did is wrong. Because the less random people find Reddit useful, the less they will go there. That means less webtraffic, and therefore less ad revenue and content to sell for Reddit.

So...what exactly would you do?

Nothing, simply because anything you could do would be effort for 0 effect. Might as well do something useful with your time instead.

Fair. In that case, I'll just blacklist Reddit in NextDNS.
