Just like every "grassroots" political campaign on Reddit that suddenly arises, and then disappears just as suddenly after failing.

I've seen some people on here questioning why this stuff was happening and what was the point.

You have to assume that they just needed explained plainly. Which is hard to do because you can never tell the scabs from the honest people online.

Granted, it's plausible that longtime lurkers have created accounts to post about this, since this is the first time that Reddit drama has affected them. But I've largely been avoiding Reddit since the blackout so I don't know.
