Some Reddit staff at some point jump in to say this, impromptu:
> Tim Rathschmidt, Reddit’s director of consumer and product communications: An angle no one else has been writing about is the desire and frustration with users that want their communities back. Especially being vocal about it. That’s just not something that’s really been covered.
> Steve Huffman: The blackouts are not representative of the greater Reddit community. Users may have been for this on Monday, they’re not for it now.
Same exact kind of FUD about the Real Public™ being inconvenienced and unsupportive you'd hear from the suits with respect to a regular labor strike. But here presented as some kind of special insight that the media are all conspiring to hide.
