    A friend and I were recently discussing how spineless modern boycotts are.

    We set a goddamn deadline for when the Reddit boycott ended. No wonder Spez just waited. Most people then just continued using the website. What a disgrace.

    Imagine if after one week of the genocide in Gaza, the BDS efforts just stopped. A boycott must be indefinite. It should go on until demands are met.

      A boycott that doesn’t hurt has no leverage.

      It’s because it was being done by terminally online Redditors, not using the site was more painful for them than the site itself.
