What's the over-under on how long it takes before fuck u spez or API get spelled out?
My bet is about 90 seconds.

I think you're right that the best response is no response, but the protests do have an effect beside driving traffic. Investors won't want to be involved in a company at war with its userbase, so if protests are loud and long enough it could mess us reddits IPO plans. So for the users who just aren't ready to give up reddit, spamming protest comments is probably their best bet.
There's no such thing as bad engagement.
Especially when an IPO is coming, because the first thing they do is get a fall guy, then blame all the bad actions on them and the old CEO.
"New reddit" then comes in and plays the good guy
Agreed. The people who are pitching r/place as "entertainment" are people who want to stay engaged with reddit and enjoy drama. I'm done with Reddit now that they've killed Apollo and don't care to hear about it anymore.
Yep is anyone is still a user logging in anyway then may as well.do.this...but to log.in especially for it, when you otherwise would not have logged a Reddit hit will give spez what he wants
