Looks like it's shifted, before when I ran this poll it was more like 1/3rd supported the Reddit administration, now it's nearly half. I wonder what changed? Reddit propaganda working eh?

Because the mods in various subreddits in their continuing protest have made Reddit worse than the "worst case scenario" that they were warning would happen.

The worst case was "You only can use the official app, the moderation is going to be worse so there might be more spam/other things, and it will be less accessible to people with disabilities". The new reality is if you liked e.g. r/pics/ now you only get to see John Oliver pics, if you like /r/thathappened all the content has been deleted, etc. etc.

And that stuff wasn't done by the Reddit admins. As much as people tried to attach "moral" reasoning to the protests, the truth is just that the people who have the biggest problems with the changes aren't enough of a blow to revenue, etc. to threaten to leave, so they have to make everyone else participants in their protests as well.
