Rule 1:
Sexy pirate John Oliver artwork ONLY
Now I have been there for around 4-5 months and Reddit just killing piracy over there and making it a rule uploading this bullshit sucks.
It is not really a useful sub anymore, get off.
Yes I will be active on her though. It is the only useful thing now.
I figured given all the other subs to force back open, they should’ve just not risked the potential bad-press of appearing to endorse digital piracy right before going public as a company, and just stayed quiet and said nothing.
They are for sure, there’s posts about it everywhere, but they’re reaching out individually to each sub (like, individually messaging the moderation teams, even), so it’s not like there wasn’t at least some conscious effort on their part with regards to r/piracy in particular.
The power of Reddit lies within its very diverse and many communities on special interests. People browsing r/piracy also browse the Frontpage, r/all and so on. But mainly their special interests is what kept them there. Because funny memes can be found everywhere.
Now, if those special interests are not being served any more, people will go elsewhere. So no, I don’t think they will be happy and investors won’t be either.
But then they should be happy we wanted to stay close right? How is a big dead sub better than a private one new people wouldn’t even know it exists? Forcing r/piracy open was a very weird decision, I still don’t get it.
Reddit is probably going to be happy about the protest in this sub. Can’t imagine that investors like the sub about getting stuff for free…
I mean, the sub was closed and Reddit forced it to reopen, so there is an argument they do endorse piracy
I still can’t believe Reddit actually decided to do that. I thought they were going to ban the sub or keep it closed.

I imagine that they are doing this to more than just the piracy sub and it’s widespread across reddit communities
