The last major holdouts in the protest against Reddit’s API pricing relented, abandoning the so-called “John Oliver rules” which only allowed posts featuring the TV host. It's the official end of the battle. The Reddit protest is over, and Reddit won.

    The way I see it, all of us who migrated here won. Enshitification is eventually going to kill reddit, the only question is when. I’ll grab some popcorn when it happens, but for now won’t worry about it and just enjoy my time here on Lemmy.

      It won’t die. It will just hollow out. Same as Digg. Same as Facebook, Twitter, and every other shitty part of the internet. The power users are what make the internet the magical place it is. Without those people, the sites will still work… but they won’t be as great as they were before their respective turning points. It’s a cycle it seems.

    Didn’t win me, I’m here now, no signs of leaving, happy to be in the fediverse.Popcorn is my only want for the impending implosion.

    And fuck the greedy spez’s of the world. Long may they suffer the wrath of the working class.

    Nah, I won. We won. We found better platforms like Lemmy, Mastodon, and KBin.

    I’m not going back to reddit, there’s simply no need.
