Private subs may hurt Reddit slightly more than restricted, but restricted subreddits don't hurt users/the Internet nearly as bad. And if we want support for our cause, we should not to hurt the users too much.

Can you explain? I don’t really get this. They make koney by Ads, not new posts. So any traffic they get because they still have content is counterproductive to pressure them, isn’t it?

The majority of ad views come from scrolling through feeds. When I click on a Reddit link, I don't even see any ads. By going restricted, that sub will quickly stop showing up in users feeds. This will cause them to get bored faster, and give less ad views.
