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.
I doubt even barely started. Most people on Reddit right now looking at the numbers and having short sighted opinions like “oh look, nothing has changed. It must have been some vocal minority all along.” Unaware most site utilize bots for that exact reason. Bots or couple of paid people cannot emulate authenticity. People will start seeing these in time.
