As a counterpoint, the users that don't care about the changes simply...don't care. There is no impetus to come out in force and massively upvote or downvote anything about the protests, they're simply getting on with their days and will be back to business as usual when the subs come back, filling the time during the protest with other subs that aren't going dark. How efficacious this all proves to be will be interesting to discover.
