Its completely pointless, reddit is doing it because of bottom line: money. Its a long term goal, and few days of people protesting is not going to change their mind, few percent of userbase not being active before coming back is negligible impact at best. Its not going to have any effect, unless significant /r/ communities start migrating to competition. Same story goes with physical product boycotts. They come and go, people forget and move on to another outrage.
