Crushed? Or drove away tons of OC creators and active members leaving a bot filled wasteland?
I mean, it's a victory if they shout it loudly enough, right? A lie repeated long enough, so it goes:
Company is going bankrupt, users are gone, laying off the bottom quartile of the company, but they stopped the protest! Etc.

It's like reading the top two lines of a disaster report and declaring victory. Fuck Reddit.
Even during the protest a lot of users thought it was caused by "power-mad" mods, some people just eat what they're fed.
It’s more of a Plato’s cave situation. You only know what you see.
Only partially, it was stated in lots of places and ways that it was in protest of the API pricing changes, and of the reaction of Reddit admins.
