It looks like a lot of people think the blackout is pointless and support Reddit's choice (www.reddit.com)

"This is the most neckbeard thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Reddit is a business trying to make money, no shit they are going to get rid of third party apps eventually. Welcome to the real world. You are not being oppressed. This protest has zero effect on anything other than just inconveniencing users. If losing third party apps ruins your reddit experience (oh no) just find another app or website."

"This is absolutely stupid virtue signaling. It’s just a few power hungry mods pretending to add some meaning to their life so the other 99% can’t use the platform.

None of us regular people give a crap about the changes. Get over it."

Well that was a frustrating read. I don't get it. Why are people so okay with reddit treating them like garbage?

Those are Gamers™.

They aren't exactly people known for their critical thinking. They are however known for eating a whole bunch of shit from game publishers and devs, even going as far as thanking them for being able to buy said crap-sandwich.

I was going to say, "Gamers are being buttholes? No way."

Those are most likely the same people who think games should have paid dlc on day one and paywalls in games. Best to never think about em until they are all crying that Reddit turns into 90% ads for onlyfans

At least here they're being shit on like the weak-willed idiots they are.

Yeah, I understand people not caring about the situation if they didn't use 3rd party apps before, but why do they defend Reddit anti-user actions, they'll got nothing to win by siding with Reddit but they still shill, they think that if that doesn't bother them, then it shouldn't bother anyone. And they always got those same bullshit arguments that have already been addressed, they don't care about the APIs being unfairly priced, they don't care that many mods use those 3rd party tools to keep the subs as clean as possible, they even say that 3rd party apps are bad because they steal profit from Reddit, how upsetting.

they've been eating corporate boots for so long they don't know how to stop
