The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.
The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

Almost every subreddit folded after the management didnt collapse after a 2 days (!!!) protest, and then just went along with it with gritted teeth like Lemmy isn't a perfectly fine alternative???
I gave up on being a mod when it all started. Not in protest but because i don't give enough of a shit to deal with drama. What amazed me was how fast people folded. While i am on lemmy, all of my Internet existence drops in yhe summer so saying fuck it I won't be on reddit for the next few months wasn't difficult. People must be addicted bad.
