This is reminding me of when all the Vine power creators banded together and tried to make demands or they would "stop creating" and all it resulted in was Twitter deleting them and their entire website.

Don't be surprised if Reddit starts taking some pretty drastic action here on the grounds that they're violating one of the site's oldest rules which is "don't break Reddit".

Not saying it's good or bad, but just that this is almost definitely not going to go the way these people think it will.

Reddit will take over the subreddits and a few moderators will lose their privs. About 25% of users will permanently leave. Reddit will go on but it won't be what it was unless the board takes drastic action but even then it's probably too late.
25 seems a bit high. I would be surprised if it reached 1%.
And Tiktok took that and made it a billion dollar business. Twitter sure showed them.
Twitter is also a billion dollar business ... too bad it used to be a $44 billion business.
Just goes to show you that it doesn't matter how much of a lead or the millions you can pour into a blackhole, hubris luckily makes everyone an equal player.
