Yes, but the "strike" is temporary, so there's no real sacrifice. That's the main reason I think this whole thing is silly.

Like any activism that actually accomplishes anything, it must be sustained and involve real sacrifice to work. This is just "raising awareness," which I guess it has done, but it's easy enough for Reddit to just batten down the hatches and wait for it to blow over, which it will.

It's no different than when you hear about A march planned for this or that cause.

It's a first step. I agree that in the longer term it will be necessary for continuing action, but you start with a warning shot, not scorched earth.
