I love that the CEO calls the users voicing their displeasure "noise".

When those users voice opinions on other things, it's called content. When those users voice their opinions against reddit, it's noise.

Hoffman continues to display a fundamental misunderstanding of what Reddit is.

The very people that give your platform its value are revolting against you, and you think it's noise.

What's your product? What do you create? In what way will Reddit thrive only with what you put into it? Where do you think the content you lace your ads between comes from?

I kinda agree, but on the other hand, the statistics were sad. The site I used [0] is currently down, but from what I remember, even with so many subreddits being private, posts per minute went from 1.2k to 1k, and comments per minute from 8k to 7k (talking about the peaks of the curve in both cases).

That is a pretty low reduction and imo shows how those of us who care are not a majority, and the whole thing might end up being nothing more than a gamer-protest.

edit: back up, peak comments from below 7k to below 6k; peak posts from about 1.2k to 1.1k
