    That’s… insane. I briefly stuck my head into r/shittylifeprotips and r/interestingasfuck to see it with my own eyes and… they’re burning it all down, aren’t they? Shitposts, butthole shots, spam about spez, porn… no “normal” posts at all.

      advertisers will surely love communities suddenly changing to porn and their focused ad campaigns being worthless

    I think this is a feedback loop for reddit’s death spiral. They’ll just start blocking/banning NSFW posts or make a new ‘policy’ thus killing off even more subs. Which in return more people will leave who didn’t care about the API changes. Then those who remain will find another loophole and continue the protest which reddit fires back restricting even more and it continues until reddit has lost the majority of its core userbase.

    Maybe I am wrong but I am assuming most advertisers don’t want to advertise with NSFW stuff everywhere. I feel reddit who is money hungry and refuses to listen to the community will just continue to tighten the grip as they remove more and more mods from subs replacing them with yes men.

      as they remove more and more mods from subs replacing them with yes men

      Would it be easy to find new moderators though? Who would want to moderate for Reddit at this stage? I think most of the people who would show any interest in moderating are currently too angry with Reddit to want to do it.

        Don’t kid yourself, there will always be more toadies willing to play along for the sake of having their own little slice of authority, however meaningless it may be.

    “The one new rule that will be strictly enforced is that instead of each post beginning with “SLPT”, every post must now begin with “Spez is a greedy little pig boy””

    God I love this

    Any sociologist out there could have a field trip with the whole reddit protest.

    Spez is salty because he sold Reddit for 10m back in the day

    So in the early 20 teens before I learned how to subscribe to my own curated feed, I inadvertently saw things I never wanted nor needed to see. Though I never subscribed to those, sometimes in browsing r/popular I’d read those. Those two subreddits were never the sources of such sights. I’m both 1. still sad at losing my mindless reading habit and using the elegant Apollo app and 2. Grinning at greedy little pig boy’s schadenfreude.

    I found out about the advertisement thing from the stablediffusion sub they are totally not getting everyone to swear as much as possible. On an Unrelated note I submitted John Oliver as a Chess pawn on reddit. Turns out I spelt it wrong.
