How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? (www.theverge.com)

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

The only reason I'm still on youtube is because there is no real alternative. They have the monopoly for an invaluable service. Facebook (meta) on the other hand has a (not so)monopoly on a superfluous service. I don't use facebook and such (twitter, instagram). Reddit also had a monopoly, but due to reddit's own acyions, there now is a valid contender in town, one that isn't a bully, so I'm stoked. Once there is a valid contender for youtube, I'm switching to that as well.
