Found the new face for the sub
That’s almost enough to make me want to go on reddit again
Ohhh that’s clever! Surely there’s been enough publicity for HBO writers to notice, and that’s perfect fuel for getting Johnny to bring this to mainstream.
Agree, it is clever and John Oliver is very sexy.
Limited to sexy pictures of John Oliver. Only the very best
Counterpoint: All pictures of John Oliver are sexy.
We did it, Reddit!
Oh wait.
Gee, I wonder if there was a good reason reddit wasn’t run by popular vote to begin with?
Incredible. I can’t believe that’s actually how the vote played out.
I noted right away they did the poll via upvoting, not via Reddit poll. This means that 3rd party apps could participate. Wonder if it has something to do with it.
The framing of “Go back to normal” or “Only sexy pictures of John Oliver” was clever. Lots of people are going to pick the funny option over the boring one in basically any low stakes poll, so even people who don’t care much about the protest probably still voted for it.
There’s also a lot more motivation for the people who are pissed about Reddit’s changes vs. the people who just want their infinite feed of content back to its former state.
I bet similar scenarios play out with spez’s whole “moderator democracy” idea.
mmm that’s cool, but that could create a new niche community line worldnews ( it’s about hentai ), what would be perfect was if every subreadditdird the same creating a lack of diversity and driving users away.
c/animetitties?
This is exactly the kind of tactic that’s needed now. If Reddit wants to end the blackout by force, then what else is there to do but make them regret it?
