    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)!

        First post, good vibes!

      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.
