no it doesn't, I have barely even noticed there is a blackout because there is plenty of content from non blacked out subs. The only thing I've noticed is when I try to visit subreddits I like some of them are blacked out. A 2 day blackout does literally nothing, just virtue signaling

Exactly. I said the same on reddit and got downvoted (not that it matters, but indicates the mindset of people downvoting). They really thing virtue signalling is sufficient and impactful lol. 48 hours means nothing.
It's not 48 hours though. /r/AskHistorians has gone permananently dark, or protected. Existing content/comments will remain, but only as an archive.
