Only thing I have to say to that is that this form of protest still brings activity to Reddit which means ad money in spez‘s pocket. It‘s as if the workers during a strike still go to work and produce the things that makes the company money, but painted pink or something, so people still buy it (maybe even more cause that is unusual) and spend. No strikes would be effective if that is how they went, which is why usually the workers withdraw their labor entirely.
That said, it‘s not a job, the mods can do what they want with it and I can do what I want too, which is not give views and build community here.
Ooh exciting stuff, I wonder if there is another wave with the appocalypse on the 30th.
I‘ve already heard multiple people say they just roll back any edits and deletes.
I don‘t know about economics, but this is my entry to research:

And cucumber prices went up more than 50% for me in the last 2 years alone, so maybe you‘re onto something.
