Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout? - eviltoast

I couldn’t find any info but what was the end result of the blackouts?

Did reddit agree or compromise, or did the movement run out of steam? Just curious if anyone knows…

There is a discussion on Hacker News, but feel free to comment here as well.

    By all accounts Reddit doesn’t seem to give a shit. I’ve had some fun here and I use reddit maybe once a week vs 4 hours a day before they killed Reddit is Fun.

    The rest of the internet got worse at the same time. Twitter, YouTube, etc.

    Reddit only loses if their IPO tanks since they’ve killed their good will. Time will tell.

      I think that’s the key. Had this blackout not happened I’m sure their IPO would have happened a lot sooner so at the bare minimum it’s delayed them getting their money which could be considered a win.
