The mods and users knew exactly what would happen, either Reddit changes, or they double down. The mods/users were ready to react to which ever Reddit chose. No one is making a surprised pikachu face here, they're just calling Reddit out for doubling down, like they already planned to do, in the event it's the move Reddit makes. It's really not that hard to understand.
They obviously didn't know exactly what would happen, because if they did, they wouldn't have bothered.
You're listing two possible outcomes and pairing them as a single event, which doesn't make sense.
Reddit was never going to change - that's my point. They were definitely going to double down.
Have you ever, ever in your life, protested anything?
Yes.
