That’s exactly what I’m trying to say.
This all started because OP thanked God for this space to replace r/piracy, now that the subreddit is a meme cesspool, and a dude came to claim "people like him are going to make Reddit win".
These people don’t realize we are the 0.01% of Reddit’s users, and two pathetic days of "blackout", a week of memes and a couple of rogue mods isn’t this brave, heroic, mass-scale social movement that will suddenly kill Reddit overnight. Reddit will keep growing both in users and financially, and it’ll need years of hundreds of thousands of people ditching the site and replacing it with something else PERMANENTLY, for them to even feel a hit.
So regarding people’s comments about Reddit already being doomed and an inch away from disappearing because some of us left, the reality is that it’s exactly the opposite. They don’t need us to "win" which for them is to keep growing.
