People usually don't respond well with threats they don't perceive as harmful, or can't perceive physically at all. Targeted ads and privacy in general is abstract to many people, and the only time they'll start responding is if their emails or social medias get hacked due to their infos being sold on the dark web or something like that.

I don't know anymore, feels like that's a user-by-user basis. I just moved from Edge to Firefox and it feels exactly as smooth. Perhaps the only time it doesn't feel as smooth is when I play mahjong on the browser, but other than that, it's the same exact experience lol.
Anyone here plays guitar? When should you get maintenance on your guitar's frets? I noticed that some frets have dents, but I don't really notice much chance in sounds, just a slight buzz if I press the strings too hard.
Except those people went to twitter, Instagram, and tiktok for their memes, news, and funny moments. All the major subs that I subscribed to are back on and people are back as usual there. The blackout was useless and another lazy version of internet activism, and it made people hate the mods instead of Reddit for “power tripping.” Literally made people side with Reddit because of that lol.
People have been saying it but were being ignored for weeks: this blackout thing will not work. And we were correct. It was a useless attempt to try and win over the majority.
Plenty of people use the main app and are the majority of users, and it is what it is. The ones who care about the Reddit API fiasco should move away. That’s the only valid move.
I’ve done it, and everyone else who care should. Leave the ones who are fine with Reddit on Reddit.
So are subreddits still planning to stay shut for only 2 days or are we extending that? Because 2 days does not seem enough for this.
Firefox's user base is apparently been dwindling for a long time now, so the possibility of this browser shutting down due to not having enough funds is getting higher and higher each year. At least, that's how I interpret it.
