TooAfraidToAsk has a poll where people can vote on the days the sub should be open with expected results. Democracy triumphs!
These kinds of stunts are useful because they keep up the spirit of the protest but turn it into a game that keeps (some) people entertained. It isn't as good as a pure Reddit boycott but that isn't ever going to happen. By making the subs worthless it diminishes the value to the mainstream crowd (you see the complaints already starting) and causes them to not be on Reddit as much which drives ad dollars away.
