Ask HN: What was the outcome of Reddit blackout? (derp.foo)

I couldn't find any info but what was the end result of the blackouts?

Did reddit agree or compromise, or did the movement run out of steam? Just curious if anyone knows..

Reddit only loses if their IPO tanks since they’ve killed their good will. Time will tell.

I think that's the key. Had this blackout not happened I'm sure their IPO would have happened a lot sooner so at the bare minimum it's delayed them getting their money which could be considered a win.
