    All of those protesters that went to Reddit for the last week to engage, generate ad revenue, and ultimately benefit Reddit, really showed them. Idiots.

      Yes because if I’m an investor I see an uptick in engagement and don’t ask a single question about it. I invest blindly based solely on numbers not on news articles blatantly posting issues with the CEO. I DEFINITELY want to invest in a company that. A.) Has a CEO who is mired in controversy B.) Has communities dedicated to taking engagement away. C.) Has an uptick in use once a year for this event, which is undermining the companies ability for engagement longterm.

        People who say stuff like what the person you’re answering said are just being naive. To them, protest = boycott. Personally, i dislike retreating with tails between my legs (but I’m not going to try to convince people to do anything either way). They also seem to believe there are so many protestors that any action we do affects reddit so much. It’s hilarious. They left reddit but retained reddit’s black and white mentality.

        People still invest in Tesla even though Musk is at helm.

        Personally, I didn’t engage because I felt to “nothing” them during their big event was more worthwhile and also contributed to lessening my overall Reddit visits. Ultimately, however, numbers are what speak to investors.
