The /r/videos mods are going all out and someone made this lovely graphic to explain why subs are going dark next week.

While I’d love to have my users on Lemmy, I also hope that this actually does something for Reddit and they reverse course on their planed changes.

    This, exactly this, 100% this. It’s the 80-20 rule, except in Reddit’s case it’s probably even more extreme because of bots. Almost all of the quality content on Reddit comes from a very small portion of Reddit’s users, and it’s very likely that most of those users are using third party apps.

    I think Reddit made a calculated decision here - and I also think they are terrible at math.
