Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.

    Was thinking perhaps subreddits could just stop moderating and auto approve everything en masse… that would create a spam hell more beautiful than anything we would have seen before…

    Unmarked NSFW stuff highly upvoted on the front page, crypto bullshit in every sub, every subreddit doing a “If this gets 2 times X votes, I post again” making the frontpage useless. It would be total anarchy and cause Reddit to implode on itself before you can say “What Snoo”.

    I doubt this will happen in reality because people actually care about preserving their subreddits. Anyway enough pipedreaming.
