How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

The reputation damage has been pretty bad for Reddit in my view. They've handled things really badly and in the process lost a lot of good will and positive sentiment to their brand. They had good will by the bucket load, that Meta and Microsoft would kill for, and have spent a lot of it in return for very little.

All they had to do was a quick 'sorry, we have listened', act like they're addressing some of the concerns and everyone walks away looking good.

Oh it the way it was handled was positively a dumpster fire!

Don't think so ultimately. The truth is most of the users don't care.
