Popular subreddits plan to extend blackouts indefinitely | Engadget (www.engadget.com)

The vow to extend the demonstration came after CEO Steve Huffman reportedly sent a memo to staff saying Reddit would “get through it” while opining that “like all blowups on Reddit, this one will pass as well.” In response to Huffman doubling down, a user wrote, “Let them fuck around and find out.”

Moderators from well-trafficked subreddits, including r/awww, r/music, r/videos, r/futurology, r/apple and r/NBA (among many others) chimed in to commit to an indefinite protest.

It sure sounds like the only thing that will change the current path is if potential investors shy away from the coming IPO. I've seen nothing (correct me if I'm wrong here) that says that's happening, but it's still early.
