I was a bit stunned reading the comments on that post. They weren’t just expressing displeasure with the blackout, it was more like “spez is 100% correct to kill 3rd party apps and mods are bad people”. My first thought was trolls/astroturfing, but maybe the rules of the game just change that quickly when an addict isn’t getting their fix.
Let’s not forget reddit has a history of using bots to create the impression that the site is more active than it is. I don’t think it’s at all unlikely that that’s going on here.
