1bluepixelIf I was/u/spez I’d be delighted by all this. People hate him but they still can’t stay away no matter what shit he pulls.
The right move would have been to leave the canvas blank, but no way Redditors can pull this off.
I’m sure reddit algos would have made it into something in the absence of any contributions.

Yeah, everyone here acts like reddit is going down. Im assuming Reddit barely registered that any users left. If you go check out r/all nothing has changed.
My impression is that a large part of the user base knows about the controversy and like to complain about it, but leaving is never, ever crossing their minds. The controversy is part of the flavor and texture of Reddit.
