I personally reached out to about a dozen advertisers, urging them to reconsider their marketing efforts on Reddit. After privatizing the subreddit I had moderated for 12 years, it seemed like the next logical step.
This kind of actions give hope, and their impact shouldn’t be underestimated! Writing a personal message is one of those things that trigger the ‘authenticity’ all these marketeers have been conditioned to chase (and by chasing it can’t ever hope to hit)!
Great idea! I haven’t seen any others mentioning this in all the protest discussions I saw. Hopefully others did similarly, that seems like something that could really help.
I’ve heard unsubstantiated claims that traffic to the advertiser portal has dropped ~40% since the protests started

Damn that’s commitment, I respect the effort
