It’s probably because I generally saw the sub shutdowns as a result of the protest, and not as an ongoing protest. Reddit clearly wasn’t in any talks with the mods at that point and vica versa.
Honestly i’ll just go with it being months. I’m basically just arguing semantics at this point.
Advertisers are the best at spreading word.
It’s probably why award shows (which are also smothered with ads) get so much publicity.
