The issue is, most of the people left on reddit are damn near addicts. Or those who weren't directly affected by the api and therefor don't care and just jump on the fuck spez cause hating ceos is cool*.
(CEOs should be hated on don't get me wrong, but for actual reasons and be held to that hate, not just hating for a trend)
I saw some comments on a Reddit thread about the place picture saying things like, "Who's spez?" Or "what did this spez person do?" It's almost like they weren't even on Reddit around the time of the protests to have a clue what people are upset about. There must be some percentage of Reddit that is just completely unaware.
