Take this as a lesson: Never, ever give your boycott an expiration date.
A number of subreddits didn't have an expiration date and are still blacked out.

The mods won't quit. The CEO threatened them once and they instantly caved at the thought of losing their power trip.
How sad and pathetic do you have to be to get that much joy from being an online forum moderator? You aren't even making any money.
I genuinely can’t think of any group of people more pathetic than r*ddit mods
It’s funny
If it's all they have going for themselves they won't give it up easy right
...or maybe they folded because they would otherwise immediately be replaced with someone who wouldn't be willing to protest at all? something that has already happened to several subs?
The boycott was handled in the stupidest way possible.
"We hate the new changes! We won't stand for it, and we're going to boycott for the literal two days we can stay away from the site! If your site can survive after that, then we'll come back!"
Also I love how subs like anti-work and communism bowed to their corporate overlords once they realized reddit might take away their "privileges"
Of course they did. Bog corpos are part of the new proletariat.
Please understand, banning people and pretending to be a victim is more fun than actually doing something that makes a difference, have more empathy for these reddit mods. They're only human after all.
Overweight, unemployed biological males that are often *********, but still human.
@enthiegavoir5955
It still amazes me how unpaid, obese, male feminists who live with their parents in their 30s and 40s and don't bathe can "protest" something. Like, what are they gonna do, literally go touch grass?
lol the echo chambers of communism and anti-work is unreal, literally nothing that they vomit pertains to reality. It feels like a bunch of highschool/freshmen college kids got together to make these subreddits and the farce has been going on ever since.
@@ihatefridays2715 And for that reason alone, reddit mods deserve what they get.
The worst thing about Reddit is it's basically killed all other independent forum sites, there used to be shit heaps of forum sites out there about every subject you could want and if you didn't like one you could just switch to another forum that discussed the same topic, most are dead now though replaced by subreddits where half the comments are deleted and everyone left is just agreeing with each other
I'd say forums moved over to Discord than Reddit.
unfortunate result with the consolidation of folks into social media platforms. There's still good forums or discords that are moderated in good faith, 10x better than Reddit.
@@aramondehasashi3324 I can’t even Google discord content
You can still find them. Its mostly older folk that occupy them. Some independent sites, lots of fb groups, etc. Main thing is many share the same problems as any online forum, with constant drama or power abuse. It's great if you have specific questions though.
Spacebattles is still kicking.

Watching this 6 months later and all the mods bowed down and went back to work. No reddit exodus, not even from antiwork or communism or the other "I hate corporations" subreddits.
Internet “anti-capitalists” in general are practically the same as controlled opposition. In Reddit’s case: just point out on a sub like r/communism that Russia is an oligarchy or that the Coca-Cola corporation has been accused of profiting off of China’s genocide of Uyghurs and see how long it takes for them to ban you without a second thought.
@@eeyorehaferbock7870people blindly following an idea is as old as time
I actually tried Reddit but I was singled out, cussed out, and insulted on almost every post I made, but then I’d see that everyone else was also doing what people hated on me for doing, except no one left angry hate comments on their posts when they did it. Not to mention moderators also falsely banned me and would punish me extra harshly or for something I didn’t even do. There was one time I actually told a moderator that banned me for something I “did” that I didn’t do it. He said “well I don’t know what to tell you. Respect people next time.” And I was so pissed off because I DID respect people and I still got banned for it. And it was a permanent ban, so there wasn’t even a next time. I soon left Reddit. It’s trash and 99% of all communities required, like, a billion karma to join. I have never seen anything so hostile to new users in my entire life. I’ve seen literal pedophiles get more respect than I did on that site.
Must be so frustrating getting gaslit like that
@@lapislovesgaming8739 yeah I never saw the app the same after these experiences
Had the same exact experience, even the fact I'm gay meant nothing, I was still singled out, gaslit and the rest.
What you do is act super extreme. Just how the mods want. The key is you go so far into what they like. You make people see how creepy and gross they are. It's a way to make fun of them without the brainlets know you are.

Banned for transphobia. (Really, banned for saying something negative about a mod who happened to be trans)
I remember the wrestling mods got huge flack because they didn’t do a basic background check on a new mod who happened to post a lot questionable things involving minors.
The fact that Redditors of all people actually managed to organize a blackout and make it work for a couple of days is somehow both surprising and expected at the same time.
Even fucking 4Chan manages to organize itself to do some pretty impressive stuff on occasion, never underestimate the capabilities of terminally online schizoids.
This isn't their first time, the last 2 times I've seen this happened, it's successful, but in the way that there's really no incentive or no drawback of kicking one of their employee or shut down a single sub

@@newdivide9882 I'm trying to remember off the top of my head so I might be wrong on a few points.
There was an account that a username that lined up with where she grew up or where she lived and had a number somewhat tied to her, it was very involved in politics and had racked up some of the most activity on the site, but it had long absences that aligned with numerous instances of her being under investigation.
@@newdivide9882 u/maxwellhill suspiciously went silent after Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested
@@newdivide9882 @blortorglethegreat3868 @nuclearbomb9483 to elaborate a little on what these people said, u/maxwellhill was an active user of reddit and a top contributor to r/worldnews. i believe the account was in the top 10 of highest karma on the entire site. i know for a fact the account was the first to hit 1 million karma. the account also moderated a number of subreddits, including, i believe, r/worldnews. the account posted frequently to r/worldnews which is very frightening, because it shows you that even on a user based news aggregation site like reddit, you're still under the influence of the powerful elite, and they are still sometimes the ones who control the content you see and the content you don't.
as far as the evidence of ghislaine maxwell being the controller of that account, here's what i remember off the top of my head.
1. username includes maxwell, which is obviously ghislaines last name.
2. the word "hill" in the username could reference an estate owned by ghislaines father.
3. the user posted religiously, DAILY, for years, with a few exceptions
3. a. during the occurence of big events in ghislaines life, like the death of her father
3. b. at times ghislaine was known to be without an internet connection, ie, long trips on a plane
3. c. after ghislaines arrest.
4. the user commented multiple times about the differing age of consent in different countries.
theres a lot more evidence. you can read the post about it yourself, google search "Here is the evidence that Reddit user MaxwellHill is Ghislaine Maxwell." and a reddit post will show up. if it doesn't show up, let me know.
Reddit and Twitter are both essentially just massive containment boards for people I hate and content I don’t want to see

Note that all the subreddits that make fun of powertripping mods get mysteriously shut down, even though they don't break any rules. You're onto something with this "symbiotic relationship" you describe.
Bardfinn moment
so that is why I can't find a subreddit to discuss bans from others
There’s a reason why I only stick to subreddits of my favourite pieces of media now. But hearing stories of how Reddit mods are and seeing all this go down has genuinely been an entertaining ride.
I unfollowed so many of the mainstream subs and it made my home page so much peaceful.
I got perma banned from the Series X sub by mentioning Playstation.
I mostly only open Reddit nowadays if there's a bug I cannot fix in a game I play
It's especially great with small media with a cult following, because the entire community concentrates to a few places online, allowing the subs to have an actual sense of humor
if you use reddit at all for whatever reason you are contaminated. Sorry, you have the redditor virus and need to be put down

They were so close to make "reddit mod" not be an insult but addiction won
I was a Redditer until the boycott. Literally the day after it started, I had my first day at an internship. I went the entire first week without using Reddit because I had something to do. Haven’t used it since. And I feel so much better.
the one good thing that came out of those recent reddit blackouts is that awkwardtheturtle has somehow gotten suspended
Good riddance.
Bcz of reddit bots which was used by mod to upvote post's
I remember getting suspended from Reddit on multiple accounts. Have never looked back since. Last I remember is the Aimee Chandler debacle and hating that my favorite subreddit r/cringetopia was closing it’s doors in protest and having subreddits like r/genzedong and r/conservative joining hand in hand in protest. Hell even r/bbwhentai of all places closed down in protest. Plus I was just on new ADHD medication that made me feel very nauseous and anxious about the whole situation.

Weird disparagment of the homeless but whatever.
Another reason why small subreddits turn sanitized when they get bigger is because a lot of these small subs start getting the attention of not only the mods, but the administrators too. if you're on a subreddit that administrators do not like, or if the administrators feel like they're not being enough of a janitor to those subs, they will try to force you the mods of that sub to "do your job". If you are like me that believes in the older internet where you could pretty much say anything short of things that are illegal by law, you can understand how subreddits that refuse to follow reddit's arbitrary terms of service would end up turning to crap when they get bigger. The only reason why small subs escape this stuff is because no one knows about them. If something on a small subreddit happens to hit the "frontpage" and it's even 10% close to edgy, there's a high chance that one of the hall monitors that read reddit who is just a user will report that post. if you have enough chronically offended idiots report a post, it will eventually receive the ire of the administrators. If you're a mod and you refuse to listen to them because you don't believe in over moderation and think free, or you don't do your moderation actions quickly enough, then the administrators will simply kick all your mods out and replace them with janitors that will do their job for them.
No matter what you do, even if you're a good mod the Reddit hyper janitor admins will get you instead.

A Reddit exodus isn't going to ruin the socialmediascape. The rise of bots and AI is already doing that. Social media in general just sucks more with every passing year to the point where I'm actually getting my information by reading books, going outside and talking to people. I'm predicting a massive social media crash later in this decade, and using it will go down in history as an addictive, unhealthy habit like drinking and smoking.
Same. I have all social media notifications off and all apps except UA-cam uninstalled, so I only go on them when I choose to. And I've probably spent under 2 hours total on FB and Twitter this _year._
Part of the issue is that it's nearly impossible to have constructive disagreements with people on social media. (And believe me, I always try my best to be levelheaded.) All people know about me is a pseudonym and whatever text I write. It's much more difficult to be a jerk to people in real life, not because people want to avoid violence but because they see the other person as a flesh-and-blood human, not a block of text that challenges them.
I've done the same - read books, go outside more, talk to people IRL. I'm also starting to read more people's personal sites for entertainment, and I'm using search engines that return those more often. ("marginalia" is a good one.) It makes me feel like I'm using pre-2010 Internet again, before the 'net became Very Serious Business™ and Google started showing you nothing but ads and the most-visited websites (instead of most relevant).
LMAO what???
It got to the point that you are reading books now? ... so before you got all info from facebook? Huh???
I mean okay but most of the info on stuff like reddit cant be found in books. I'm not gonna tediously search through books written on save file sorting algorithms to find my answer when its a search away and was answered 7 years ago by some bloke named u/penisunavailable8282

I can’t remember which sub it was, but the mods had a huge meltdown after they lost the vote to keep their sub closed down due to their “protest”.
I never use Reddit specifically because of the karma system.
I made an account, and ended up never using it because I hated that I was straight up locked out of most Reddit blogs because I had no karma.
Looks like I dodged a bullet there.
Reddit is useful af. I have an acc just for tech problems.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 Good for you at least. I just hate when I'm forced to use something constantly in order to be able to do what I want with it.
Its unusable.
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 you would get far better and more constructive help if people were actually allowed to comment, weren't deleted and banned for no reason, and not locked behind a karma wall.
@@nunyabaznus7851 eh. I haven't had any problems yet so idk. Been using it for tech stuff for a long time tho so idk how it evolved due to bot problems.
But I only had one problem with no answers ever and that was about a 15 year old turkish video game so its understandable. Any other time I always got what I wanted.
If Reddit disappeared, i wouldn't even notice
I actually feel like, if there is a Reddit exodus, it will mostly go onto discord where it is a lot less centralized. Most subreddits already have their own discord server anyway, at least from what I can tell.
I hope not. Discord will delete servers if they are too edgy, it just doesn't happen all that much because whose ever on top seems to only do so based on reports, as opposed to being moral busy bodies with no lives.
I dread to think of terminally online reddit mods infesting the site and gaining any power.
predditors are already on discord. grooming your children
@@rorrim0 reddit mods are the opossite of edgy. They are basically status quo gollems
That's the good ending, they'll be more contained that way.
@@rorrim0I mean most servers are decentralized and private so unless you have an invite to those certain servers you’re mostly safe.
I love how your Temu ad-read was also a subtle jab at the site and the absolute garbage they sell.
Yet another reason to like Ghost Gum
Ngl it’s actually a really good app for that type of thing. Just don’t go there expecting amazing quality all the time, sometimes you can actually really luck out and, when you don’t it’s very easy to get a full refund compared to most places. Tbh idk why so many people hate it, and Ik I seem to be out here religiously defending them or smth but it’s literally because it’s been a really good site for me and my friends 😭
The fact that so many of these reddit mods put so much work into moderating random forums absolutely free, but are disgusted by the thought of working an actual job is insane to me.
Reddit did the right thing (getting rid of a bunch of power-tripping jannies) for the wrong reasons (corporate greed)
Maybe the people at the top. Wanted to get rid of the losers a certain way. They want to make money off the app. Having creepy weird losers as mods. Makes that next to impossible.
this is truly a wholesome chungus moment, dog walking stocks to the moon!!
Reddit *genuinely* makes me sick. The fact redditors still exist *genuinely* makes me nauseous
Such a Reddit thing to say.
Are these "redditors" in the room with us right now?
@@Jaximousyou just made me choke thank you 😭
@@returnedtomonkey8886 Redditors always say that but it's not even true. The same dingleberries that hang out on the main subs are in the small ones too.

I feel like reddit will be the next twitter in a few months.
With Twitter becoming less of an echochamber probably.
I still use Tumblr, and I can confirm there are redditors coming there, with one of the most popular memes about it being "redditors are the opposite of invasive species", because they blended in very well
A lot started in Tumblr, then came to Reddit.
The jump from reddit to tumblr isnt that huge. Tumblr is pretty cool because its still old school internet. But who knows how long that will last
The 196 users are very gender and fit in well

Their whole life is Reddit, as you mentioned, which is exactly why they won't leave
The blind mods leave.
Because they lose 3rd party apps that allow them to even use reddit
Insufferable mods are being inconvenienced? Count me in.
It won't go away, it came back. Reddit is a parasite, we can't get rid of it
If reddit is truly the most popular place i must be in the most barrin places because i get essentially no interactions in most places/subreddits
its 80% bots

To be fair, "Go back to Reddit" has been an insult for like 15 years" It's always sucked.
Spez goofed hard. Interested to see the ghost gum video on this 10 years from now
I mean, it's only a mobile app that caters to minority of reddit userbase
Majority shouldn't suffer just because minority have a problem with it
Reddit nowadays just feels like the fast food of the internet.
As if tiktok doesn't exist
Goyslop
I’d rather eat at a fast food place than frequent reddit
Reddit moderators vs Discord moderators should become a boxing event.
I hate reddit
Message to all Redditors out there: STAY OFF OF 4CHAN, WE’RE FULL
Too late. They infest tv, vg, and co
I'm afraid they've been slowly creeping into some of the boards since the lockdown ended. At least they don't have power.
You haven't been on that site these last few months, they've been trying to breach in for a while now.
4chan superior race
r*ddit and 4chan have had the exact same userbase since gamergate in 2014, sorry champ
NOOO DONT US TEMU ITS A SCAM
Temu sponsor aging like fine wine right now
I got kicked because I told someone dating a person who is still legally married that I would consider that a major red flag.
Glad my boy ghost gum did a video on the subjet! But I’d say I have to disagree with you on how they conduct bussines: reddit CEO legit laughed at his whole userbase by doubling down on his decision during an AMA and threatened the current mod to be replaced by other people if they didn’t stoped the blackout which most subreddit then reopenend because of that. Just let that sink in: the CEO used anti-union strategy…ON FREE LABOR 😂 And because they only have reddit in their live they cave in and reopen their sub to avoid losing their mod status. Is it pathetic and sad? Yes. But hillarious to think about it from this approach
And even funnier is that all people could do is downvote
Oh no, he got a bajillion downvotes, that's definitely gonna effect his...uhhmm...whatever karma points is
the reddit CEO is as stupid as their userbase? wow, im shocked!
Reddit jannies forever sweeping it up. Even their biggest moments for change. They still decided to sweep for the bosses
Once I told someone in youtube comments to "go back to reddit." She was so insulted that she replied with a huge novel about how she didnt even use reddit that often and even if she DID use reddit then some celebrity who she liked also uses reddit and therefore it is a good and cool thing. Didnt care, didnt read, and she literally proved my point. It's almost like if you tell them they use reddit they get mad that you were able to tell.
the temu sponsorship killed me 💀💀💀
no way he’s sponsored by temu 😭😭
you are promoting a scam
I can confirm that no matter how good you are the slightest hint of wrong think and you get banned, good thing the site is imploding.

redditors literally failed every step on how to perform a boycott.
I am apart of a small subreddit that is pretty isolated all things considered from the rest of Reddit and we basically just recommend various films and tv shows to each other and discuss what we like about them. The person who owns it is also the only moderator and he’s barley ever online and it’s a wonder how the server hasn’t descended into chaos. No one literally had any idea any of this Reddit drama was going on lol. And I must say, all of these things aside, it is very easy to get caught up in the approval of other people’s opinions to the point where you’re scared to have an opinion of your own. It’s a scary to think about how swept up you can get in it, and If you have ever gotten to that point on any social media platform (Not Just Reddit) then it’s not good for you whatever it is and you need to quit immediately. That aside I have no problem with small Reddit communities who just like to share their common interests with each other.
There was a time in Reddit history where the politician that everyone universally liked on Reddit was Ron Paul, a libertarian that wanted to abolish the IRS and believed in gun rights. It shifted to Bernie Sanders and Biden very quick. It’s crazy the polar shift of Reddit over the years.
Also from liking Elon to hating him too, sometimes I wonder if they are all bots to bias the public opinions kek
I'm just worried that if it dies, a lot of very useful information goes with it. Last week i figured out that a tiny squeak in my truck was actually a catastrophic driveshaft failure about to happen and was able to prevent it from taking the transmission with it by setting someone post the answer on.... reddit. I don't "use" reddit, I look at it like a message board collection for useful hobby searching, that i don't need to register for a new account just to read advice
Gotta love how the “protest” was more harmful than the change itself.
You forgot one thing. Those power mods don’t work for free. It was revealed from the Amy case that the power mods PAID Reddit to be power mods!
