I think it’s, like, 50-50. Even with the blackout, I’ve seen a bunch of morons on Reddit trying to usurp moderation by being admin bootlickers and requesting a subreddit. It’s always kinda surprising what people are willing to do for fake internet points, and being “in charge” of something.
Because that’s what’s driving traffic for them right now. Let’s not forget that The Verge is also a soulless corporate entity. Peters has been doing a good job at covering the issues, but he wouldn’t be allowed to be as thorough if the topic and angle wasn’t a good driver of traffic.
