I'm talking more about the fairly major sites (like MS Paint Adventures, which gets well over a million visitors a day) initiating a blackout and directing people to petitions. Or Dinosaur Comics, that's a good example. Taking the people who like your work and directing them so that hundreds of thousands of voices are slamming up against Congress all at once? There's nothing bad about that.

I hate a bandwagon, that's what's bad about it!

All I'm saying is, there is absolutely nothing wrong with people banding together because they all agree on something. When it's with a specific goal in mind, so much the better.

Nothing wrong with it at all, other than it being an absolutely futile effort. When English Wikipedia is down (sorta) and reddit is down and Google has a big thing on its front page, does yourgamercards.net going down for the day really do anything to raise awareness? People know already. Just slap a black ribbon on your goddamn website and be done with it like we did back in the '90s!
