Comment on Unity boycott begins as devs switch off ads to force a Runtime Fee reversal - Mobilegamer.biz

But hey, at least they didn’t give it a set end date; from the very start of their “strike” the reddit mods couldn’t stay away from their unpaid powertrips and leave their octogenerian mothers’ basements for more than 2 days, and instantly folded at a single empty threat to take away the only thing in their lives that gives them purpose and makes them feel like they wield power over others.

Don't shove us all under the same rug. I packed my bags, shred my old comments and posts and went into the Fediverse.

    Nope. Content creators, the ones doing all the talking on reddit, definitely left. Check out this graph of posts per day on r/askreddit

    From what I've heard, a lot of it is bot posts now. So if you subtract out the bots I wonder if that delta gets even bigger.

I’m confused about what you want.

Mods literally got replaced by reddit because they refused to capitulate.

I’m not a fan of reddits choices, but if I was deeply involved in a community I’d consider staying to be part of that community still.

Written like someone who wasn’t actually paying attention to the subreddits during that time

That’s true. Although, having that limit probably got more of them to participate. So while the impact was short, it was more noticeable.
