Major corporations like Google? That's laughable. Reddit users did about 100 times more than Google all by themselves.

- btilly 14y agoAre you kidding? People I know who know nothing about copyright and don't know what Reddit is were coming up and asking me to explain what Google was talking about.
- aggie 14y agoReddit's campaign may have produced more activists, but Google likely reached more eyeballs in a matter of hours than Reddit had in the preceding months. In the end, it was the widespread, mildly (somewhat blindly) anti-SOPA sentiment, not the loud minority, that turned the tide.
- cheald 14y agoI think you're overestimating reddit's reach. It's big, but it's still very niche. Google and Wikipedia are sites that Grandma uses on a regular basis, whereas if you asked her about reddit, she'd say "read what?"
