r/Pics is doing a new poll to divide their fate, the are 3 options:

  • Continue allowing only pictures of John Oliver looking sexy.
  • Allow any media of John Oliver.
  • Suspend all of /r/Pics' subreddit-specific rules.

They're just gonna set the sub on fire!

I feel like suspending the specific rules is the only viable long term protest. As much fun as John Oliver pics are, eventually people will tire of the meme.

That's pretty huge, since they're probably the biggest subreddit.

Reddit is writing their own rules and they’ll rewrite this one to get their way. They’ll just force it back to SFW and remove any mods who undo it.

By forcing them to moderate their own subs, they would have to (ideally) pay their own employees to do so. Not only would this be expensive, but it would hurt them in the eyes of investors right before they go public.
