If a bunch of losers take their rule holiday as “post whatever I want without consequence” it will make the IP less valuable to potential investors. Killing the value of Reddit may actually be more effective than protesting the changes, it’s just more of a “burn everything down on the way out” strategy.
They’re still enforcing site-wide rules, which means anything actually toxic to Reddit’s brand will be covered. Really the go ahead on shit-posting is likely to drive engagement and post count. Doubt it will be anything substantial, but definitely not harmful. If their intent is a mod strike kinda thing, they haven’t thought it through too much.
In a roundabout way, it kinda does.
