How else do you apply pressure to the dickhead? a 2 day protest doesn't do anything impactful. What if the American/French Revolution only lasted 2 days?

I think the 2 day protest was so a lot more subreddits would be willing to participate, and was ultimately used to spread awareness throughout the userbase (and get some traction in the news cycle). I don't think anyone leading the charge was expecting spez or reddit as a whole to cave and revert everything within those 2 days, but you'd be surprised how easily users can ignore that stuff unless it's shoved right in their face

Ultimately despite reddit still being a shithole, I think it was pretty effective. Not sure it could be called "rexxit", but the fediverse is far more populated (and a bit more mainstream) now, as people start realizing there is a way for the community to hold some power and not constantly be at the mercy of bad management or greed
