    I think they do understand this, to a point. That’s why they keep threatening their mods instead of outright removing them.

      Except they have outright removed a bunch. All but two of the r/TIHI mods were purged, as an example.

          It looks like it’s back, but are they really? One of the posts from the last 12 hours is “Thanks, I hate the new Sonic” with a still from the movie before they reworked it. I smell a repost bot in action to make it look like there’s more traffic…

        I think you accidentally responded to the wrong comment. I assume you meant to respond to the comment below asking whether spez was with Reddit since the beginning.
