Also, I think the people who stay after the blackouts are the ones Reddit wants: the ones least likely to care about being subjected to ads and hostile UI. The ones least likely to leave or protest. The ones with least critical thinking. The ones consuming the most trivial content and guerrilla marketing. The holy grail of any money-hungry social network.
That's true, they're filtering out the people they can't bully around. Smaller population of users but you can be relatively certain about their behavior.
It's like when a scammer intentionally misspells things so that people who are more aware are filtered out off the bat.
