    The most effective protests against your capitalist overlords are to strike or boycott.

    Everything else is just begging.

      Same. Imgur had a bad reputation for years but I didn’t know why. 404 explains that it has the same fate as reddit. Nothing will change then. Users will complain a lot but not move to another site.

      To keep with the reddit comparison, there were a lot of bad events that should have triggered a massive migration, but it didn’t happen. People stayed on reddit and they still complain without doing anything about it.

        There are more extreme things, but then that starts being something other than “protest”.

        Eh, watch some French protests, especially ones involving French farmers. Spraying manure into government buildings is one of the classics.

        As long as you don’t kill anybody (or any pets or livestock), it’s still just a protest.

        (And Medialab AI doesn’t seem to have any human employees left, only executives and marketing drones, so no one would get hurt if it got burned down, on the contrary, it’d be a net benefit for humanity).

      I think arson works very effectively, historically

      Or other forms of asset destruction
