“All posts must be images of John Oliver looking sexy.”

ok
Having trouble reconciling why these polls are always overwhelmingly in favor of continuing protests when users are apparently opposed to them. Craziest thing.
As I write this, John Oliver’s Twitter is posting a bunch of pics of himself telling /r/pics to “have at it”

we can rest assured that John Oliver is collecting all the sexy pics people photoshop/post and is going to put together a Last Week Tonight episode on this, once the strike is over.
I love this! I have a tiny sub but I’m doing this!!!
I closed my tiny subs. Reddit won’t be able to find mods for them all.
I had closed mine too, but the Oliver thing seems too good to pass up. Once a day, every day I will post John Oliver pic. Just to be snotty.
John Oliver always likes to stick it to the big guy in the fight which I find hilarious, I wish Last Week Tonight was on the air so we could hear his takes.
Sometimes I feel like the internet is a huge mistake, but then I see stuff like this and am just all, “bravo, you crazy assholes,” in the proudest, most pleased, way possible.
Yeah, in times like this I feel like the old wacky internet is still kicking and it fills me with joy
we did it
redditkbin“And the Lord God said, ‘Let there be internet,’ and there was pwnage. And it was good.”
The article mentions r/pics and r/gifs. For what I know r/art is also doing this.
because it’s impossible to find anything else
I feel like it would have been funnier to open in text only mode too
That would have been perfect. Only ASCII art of sexy John Oliver.
As far as I know, /r/pics may not take text, but has no objection to pictures of text.

Maybe this isn’t the darkest timeline after all.
I’m imagining r/fanfiction as a subreddit dedicated to fiction about Lady Windermere’s Fan.
I’m honestly tired of the trolling. We know that the advertisers and investors aren’t going to reverse course, which means Advance isn’t going to change, and that means Spez is going to keep going. All the trolling does is hurt the users, and push Reddit closer to the brink. Either Reddit will just be closed because it’s not profitable, or there will be a tsunami of bans.
The users are free to leave if they feel they are being hurt by the effects of Reddit’s more-money-at-all-cost policies.
The die was cast when Reddit decided to put the 3rd party apps out of business. Doubling down on that is only accelerating the decline. We’ve now reached the point where even if Reddit did some serious backpedaling, it wouldn’t get some of its content creators back.
That’s the point.
