If the protest fails, there was nothing of value left to lose. Reddit has had ample opportunity to make things right in a way amenable to the people complaining. Instead, they've consistently signalled that they want to keep dumping the value that long time users see in the site down the drain. Personally, I have no interest in continuing as steward of the trash heap. Sad to mourn the loss of niche communities, but enough is enough.
