I really hope Reddit dies as a result of this, especially since its so close to them becoming public, but I think the protest has lost the way now and won't be effective. The 3rd party apps have removed themselves from the equation, so now the mods just have to stand against the Reddit Admins in favor of ... ???

1) Blind people using internet apps
2) Mods not getting enough censoring/banning tools in a timely manner

I'm looking forward to the mess Reddit becomes because of this though.

One of their missteps was setting a protest timeline(a short one that the Admins could just plan to wait out) instead of promising something indefinite from the start.

A good thing that has come out of this is now more people can see how useless search engines like Google have become, without the functional crutch of appending "reddit" to search queries in order to filter for relevant content.
