Doesn't reddit not make money though? Like, if traffic resulted in them making money, I'd agree, but everything I've heard would indicate using reddit with an adblocker literally costs them money.
Exclusively using reddit to protest should be fine IMO, just don't contribute anything that isn't a protest (including voting)
The argument is that it drives the active users and engagement up which allows them to show off those numbers to investors and it looks great for the upcoming IPO.
IMO though, I do believe that Reddit was losing money from 3pa because they’ve refused to say just how many users were using those apps compared to theirs.
