Popular subreddits plan to extend blackouts indefinitely | Engadget (www.engadget.com)

The vow to extend the demonstration came after CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sent a memo to staff saying Reddit would “get through it” while opining that “like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” In response to Huffman doubling down, a user wrote, “Let them fuck around and find out.”

Moderators from well-trafficked subreddits, including r/awww, r/music, r/videos, r/futurology, r/apple and r/NBA (among many others) chimed in to commit to an indefinite protest.

Being a mod is a labor of love. If they don't love it any more, they'll leave. They're currently trying to save Reddit from making that happen.

The execs don't seem to understand this.
