    There are a couple of subreddits that will go blackout indefinitely. I think r/video is one of them, and it’s quite big. This can be annoying for the platform.

      As others mentioned, if any worthwhile subreddit goes dark, then the mods will be replaced and it’ll be brought back.

      Creating some noise works only if anyone is listening and willing to respond and enact change. Absolutely not in this scenario. The sad reality is the vocal ones are in the minority in the grand scheme of things. The 50k people leaving is, probably, pocket change and aren’t the ones that the platform is geared towards nowadays.

      They can, and probably will, replace the mods I wager

      But a bunch of people will be permanently gone by then I hope
