Comment protest (Score 4, Insightful) 73

The Reddit protest was implemented in the worst way possible.

What should have been done was make the subreddits read only, and provide a link to a successor community. Making a subreddit inaccessible does not help end users. With no successor community to direct visitors to, there is no place for the users to migrate to, and the protest becomes ineffective.

Microsoft in the past has done date-based expiration of their operating systems. Granted, you needed to be running an Insider build for this to happen, but "outdated" insider builds are specifically designed to automatically BSOD after 4 hours of use.
Sucks if you were sticking with a particular build because the newer builds were too buggy.
