    While I’d like to see a positive change from Reddit from the blackout, I don’t see them changing their ways.

      I think they’re in a more sensitive situation this time, compared to the past.

      they’re about to submit an IPO, so having a riot in their own service is damaging them economically.

          Less of an AMA, more of a AMOTQABMPT. Ask Me Only The Questions Approved By My PR Team (but I still managed to fuck up.)
