No, he's right. If people just "fuck off" instead of protesting, shit doesn't get done.

Some people don't just want to "move on" when they're pissed at yet another example of capitalism ruining a platform that got itself a monopoly because of capitalism. If reddit hadn't been there when Digg died, somebody else would have. That somebody else might have done things differently than reddit, and now we wouldn't have this issue where reddit is almost "too big to fail".

So I may be too lazy to actively protest reddit, but saying my decision to "just fuck off" is the braver one because the protestors are "addicted"... I just disagree.

Capitalism says we're not supposed to have expectations of the giants who cannibalize their market. I disagree strongly.
