On one hand, I applaud the rallying cry to action. I sincerely hope it works where everything else has failed.

On the other hand, experience has made me cynical. My gut tells me that your strike, at best, may rally a few participants, garner some moderator support, and potentially inspire Shog9 to bring this up during some meeting.

Even if you get that far, the only people who'd even care don't have the power to tell development, "Do this." Your effort isn't important to the people who have that power. They've built an empire on unpaid labor/expertise and they seem to take it for granted.

We've all had the mistaken impression, at one point or another, that our individual participation is important to SE. It's not. So, stop working for free. Don't strike; just stop. Use the site, or not, on your own terms.

I know you've invested a lot of time and effort but sometimes you have to let bad investments go.
