I can't even wrap my head around this. Days ago the discussion on /r/piracy was about if it was worth continuing to protest, knowing that reddit likely hated the community and would actually prefer if a piracy-focused community left. And now they are forcing other mods into control to force it back open. A piracy subreddit. Devoted entirely to discussing illegal activity. Forced by the company to stay open, because they are that desperate for the traffic. https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/14briu5/hey_rpiracy_reddit_admins_demodded_the_captain/

    No no no, you just don’t get it: Reddit is incredibly profitable and has barely noticed this “blackout.” Everyone there is happy and normal. I assure you, Mr. Investor, that making an example out of a fairly niche and barely legal subreddit is very routine.
