One of Reddit's largest communities is protesting changes to the platform by posting only photos of John Oliver 'looking sexy'

One thing I wish these news sites would cover is that it's not only the API changes that people are upset about.

This was just the straw that broke the camels back. It's been a long time coming.

My personal gripes were:

1. Corporate astroturfing (this is the #1 reason I left, the entire front-page just felt like r/hailcorporate but nobody is aware)
2. Reddit official app served ads in the damn comment section
3. Bots of many varieties. Karma farming bots. Politically motivated bots (especially on r/Canada)
4. Mod abuse (r/antiwork for instance)
5. Censorship (r/fencesitter for instance)
6. The stupid NFTs being pushed

Also, the API situation will make it harder to moderate subs without the tools that were previously available

Awesome to see this getting some media coverage. I hope the writers strike ends in time for Oliver to be able to do a segment on his show about all this.

r/Art too
