This is just incorrect.

What you are describing is a boycott. And it’s probably true that that’s the most powerful thing a normal user can do against reddit.

But mods can do much more by messing with their sub. In terms of headache caused.

My cats like to look out our bedroom window in the morning. We have smart blinds. So I use an Ikea motion sensor to tell when one of my cats goes near our bedroom blinds and one of the blinds then opens just enough for them to look outside.

Another is we have indoor security cameras to spy on said cats when we’re away. But when we come home, I use Home Assistant to turn the cameras to face the wall and when we leave, it turns the cameras to face the rooms.

Yeah, the titanic situation involved submarines, suspense, radar, underwater drones, etc.

The suspense was key, too. A race against the clock of oxygen running out. What happens if the drone finds them, but can’t free them? Stuff like that made it a very unique story.

So of course people are more interested in that one.
