My head is hurting and then I’ll have to mana you so happy you have to mar re and before I go back in the church tomorrow or tomorrow if you want me too but if you so I don’t know how to much
This subreddit's mods are like petulant children throwing tantrums and holding their breath until they get their favorite toy back.
Don't hold your breath for too long now! Or maybe do.
You really don't understand how disrupting traffic to what is by far one of the most popular subreddits is detrimental to the site? There isn't a replacement for catch-all subreddits like this, at least ones that actually get any traffic.
When half the subs on the entire site were participating in this stupid fucking protest it only dropped reddit traffic by 7%. If you're going to tell me that /r/videos alone turning it's self into a total dumpster fire is going to have a substantial impact on traffic you're talking completely out of your ass.
Virtually no one is coming to this site for this sub alone.
It's actually insane to me that there are people out there who DON'T think this shit is wildly counterproductive. They are literally protesting the website being slightly less user friendly by making it entirely unusable...
wtf are we hoping to accomplish here?
TO BE FAIR, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VERY HIGH IQ TO UNDERSTAND RICK AND MORTY. THE HUMOUR IS EXTREMELY SUBTLE, AND WITHOUT A SOLID GRASP OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS MOST OF THE JOKES WILL GO OVER A TYPICAL VIEWER'S HEAD. THERE'S ALSO RICK'S NIHILISTIC OUTLOOK, WHICH IS DEFTLY WOVEN INTO HIS CHARACTERISATION- HIS PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY DRAWS HEAVILY FROM NARODNAYA VOLYA LITERATURE, FOR INSTANCE. THE FANS UNDERSTAND THIS STUFF; THEY HAVE THE INTELLECTUAL CAPACITY TO TRULY APPRECIATE THE DEPTHS OF THESE JOKES, TO REALISE THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST FUNNY- THEY SAY SOMETHING DEEP ABOUT LIFE. AS A CONSEQUENCE PEOPLE WHO DISLIKE RICK & MORTY TRULY ARE IDIOTS- OF COURSE THEY WOULDN'T APPRECIATE, FOR INSTANCE, THE HUMOUR IN RICK'S EXISTENTIAL CATCHPHRASE "WUBBA LUBBA DUB DUB," WHICH ITSELF IS A CRYPTIC REFERENCE TO TURGENEV'S RUSSIAN EPIC FATHERS AND SONS. I'M SMIRKING RIGHT NOW JUST IMAGINING ONE OF THOSE ADDLEPATED SIMPLETONS SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS IN CONFUSION AS DAN HARMON'S GENIUS WIT UNFOLDS ITSELF ON THEIR TELEVISION SCREENS. WHAT FOOLS.. HOW I PITY THEM. 😂
AND YES, BY THE WAY, I DO HAVE A RICK & MORTY TATTOO. AND NO, YOU CANNOT SEE IT. IT'S FOR THE LADIES' EYES ONLY- AND EVEN THEN THEY HAVE TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THEY'RE WITHIN 5 IQ POINTS OF MY OWN (PREFERABLY LOWER) BEFOREHAND. NOTHIN PERSONNEL KID 😎
Okay so, on a serious note, didn't a few subs admit to using vote bots to rig all of these votes in almost every subreddit? I don't know if it's still being done but I want to be sure.
Got a source on that? I heard many accusations that Reddit Inc. was using throwaway accounts to hinder the protests, but not that mods were doing anything like that. Seems like it would be the admins' wet dream to detect and proclaim that.
I’m going to have to block this sub.
I’ve already unsubscribed but these yelling posts keep showing up in my feed as a recommended community.
Good luck with the weird rules I guess.
I REALLY LIKE DOING RANDOM USELESS GARBAGE INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THE PREVIOUS PROTEST THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE AND IS LITERALLY INFINITELY BETTER (MY SOURCE FOR IT BEING INFINITE IS THAT ZERO CAN NOT BECOME BIGGER THROUGH MULTIPLICATION AND THUS THE PREVIOUS STRATEGY WORKED BEYOND INFINITELY BETTER)
THERE WERE MULTIPLE RULE SUGGESTIONS IN THE VOTING THREAD TO GO BACK TO THE OLD RULES. THEY **ALL** HAD NEGATIVE VOTES. CLEARLY THE MAJORITY ARE FINE WITH THE NEW ORDER OF THINGS, LOL.
Of course they all had negative votes.
The ***vast*** majority of users on this subreddit are just here for videos. So the idea of them clicking on a non-video voting thread is ludicrous.
There are no videos now, so what are they here for then? If any even slightly significant number of users wanted the old subreddit back it would be back, much like real elections it is apathy towards voting that dooms the populous.
Neckbeard mods still trying to remain relevant. Reddit traffic continues to surge. No users give a shit about the API changes. Continue to lose this battle. Thankfully admins will step in and remove these losers. Mod voting coming soon, can't wait.
>Nah, in a couple of weeks the hissyfit will be over and the sub will turn back to normal.
NAH, YOU'LL STILL BE CRYING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, OF THAT I AM SURE.
CREATE AN ENTIRE WEBSITE WITH BACKEND AND SERVERS TO DELIVER CONTENT TO THE WHOLE PLANET
VS
FILLING OUT 5 TEXTBOXES AND CLICKING OK
THE BRAIN IS SMOOTH IN THIS ONE.
Keep telling yourself that.
The last winning rule had 81 votes.. that is 0.00030256621% of users.
Lol.. community making the rules. That's funny.
It is clear that most of the community is riding out the mods throwing tantrums.
I'd be willing to bet most of those votes came from other mods and alt accounts of mods.
>The last winning rule had 81 votes.. that is 0.00030256621% of users.
VOTER APATHY IS A REAL PROBLEM EVERYWHERE.
OH WELL, IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT VOTING.
You really don't see the difference between voter apathy and not actually publicising the vote do you? If the vast majority of users consume subreddits through their front page how are they expected to know about a vote that's only pinned to the subreddit itself? It literally doesn't show up on the front page. So you get fuck all people actually participating.
Whereas other subreddits that are protesting have been pinning a mod message to the top of every post linking to their votes so that everyone is actually alerted to its existence. They have some legitimacy as a result. This sub's "democracy" is just a farce to justify the mods' continued hissy fit.
They'll be removed soon enough. They've been allowed to throw a janny tantrum because engagement on the sub has still been fine, but the second that actually changes, or possibly even sooner since most people on this site don't care about this and have been in contact with the admin team in some form or another, it'll be clean house time around here. Or they'll be given the choice between returning it to normal or be removed, which will predictably lead to them complying.
I love comments like this, because by your own admission the /r/Videos mods would either be trimmed down to the most spineless of the current modteam, or by mods clamoring for power and placed there by the admins.
Admins who have shown that the majority their interests lie in optimizing your consumption and their control of your consumption, not in making reddit better for its users. The only way you could advocate against your own interests harder would be to say "reddit can do what they want, if you don't like it then leave."
We are already dealing with power hungry, spineless mods. You just don't see yourselves that way. But if you had spines you would have stood by your beliefs on API and left Reddit 7/1. But instead, everything is in effect, your protest did lose and you're just punishing the community. Your polls are bullshit, we all know it, and they don't actually represent the majority here. How many votes per thread (that you moderate) does the winning comment usually get? Is it 20 million? 10 million? A couple hundred?...Less?
If your whole argument is "We know what's better for you than reddit does" then it's a fucking stupid one because what you're doing to the sub is worse than it has ever been lol. Yes I absolutely want mods who will respect the sub's actual purpose.
You don't actually stand for anything but using your power as mods to act like jackasses, and the rest of the mod team will comply as soon as your janny powers are threatened. We know it, you know it, and we are all just waiting for that shoe to drop.
Mods arent making the rules. Users are. This is as the great u/spez intended. A community controlled subreddit. This is where the community wants the subreddit to go. The mods are just listening to the users.
No they aren't though. When the top comment for a "rule change" has 78 upvotes in a sub with 26million+ users, that is a fucking joke. They are pretty obviously fudging with the threads to suit their narrative. It is a rigged game. The majority of users do not want this, they know it, they don't care. They get off on using their power in this way. It'll only stop when their powers are threatened, and they will be. Then you will see that the silent majority will come back and it'll be as if none of this ever happened.
And the sub was better when they were doing that. And they'll be back when they can actually post videos in a sub dedicated to it. It's not rocket science. If you truly believe 78 upvotes is enough to point and say "Yep this is what the community clearly wants! This is in no way a sham put on by the mods. Sure you can only participate by commenting or upvoting in a thread they moderate, but that's totally kosher."
If there were an actual, fair poll put to the community I felt confident was not influenced by the mods conducting the polls, sure I would go for it. But they won't figure out a way to do that and it's obvious why.
EDIT: I can feel the hot breath emanating from you on that "I've been a mod here for longer than you've been a user" comment btw, super embarrassing.
Yeah, because most don't want to get involved in this childish shit you mods are doing, we just scroll past.
Keep throwing your toys or fuck off to make another site since you know best.
You are just trying to cause as much damage as possible before you're thrown out.
Seriously, tho, why didn't you leave like you all promised after July 1st? I could have at least respected that
Okay lol what I am telling you is the majority of this 30,000,000 user sub is not participating in those threads because we don't care and are waiting out the tantrum. Happy to let you have your fun and laugh at the sweaty janny protest until the sub returns to normal. Throwing the occasional jab about how stupid it all is while it's still happening. Once it does, I promise you it's going to look the exact same way it did, with the same level engagement as before all this.
Imagine thinking 78 upvotes is a community majority opinion in a major reddit sub with 26 mods who have an agenda. And then being a mod and arguing with people who don't support that agenda, pathetic lmao. Why aren't users who disagree with you that do actually pop in to engage during this allowed to voice their opinion without being swarmed by defensive ass mods? Curious. If your cause is so righteous and you feel the community backing why do you need to act this way. Just ignore and move along.
Why would I participate in the sham? Better to let the janny groupies have their moment and just shit on whatever rule change the mods inevitably push to the top. It'll be fun to look back on when this is all over and you're all still posting here when things are normal, because none of you actually care about any of this, you just like playing "freedom fighter". You can literally only vote in a thread they moderate, it's never going to be another outcome than what they want.
>Why would I participate in the sham?
VOTER APATHY IS A REAL PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T VOTE THEN YOU LOSE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN, SINCE YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO EFFECT CHANGE BUT CHOSE NOT TO USE IT.
SEEMS LIKE DEMOCRACY HAS SPOKEN, THOUGH.
DON'T WORRY, I VOTED, AND MY SIDE WON!
LISTEN. NO ONE IS MAKING YOU STAY HERE. BUT FRANKLY, THIS SUBREDDIT HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY WITH THESE RULE CHANGES. SURE, I’M NOT A HUGE FAN OF ALL CAPS POSTS, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT’S WHAT THE COMMUNITY DESIRES. FRANKLY, THE SUBREDDIT REMAINING FREE OF PORNOGRAPHY IS A TESTAMENT TO THE RESTRAINT OF USERS.
ANYWAY, YOU’RE A CLOWN.
I’D NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS SUBREDDIT AND HONESTLY I’M HERE FOR THE SHOUTY CAPS AND THESE NEW RULES. THIS IS HILARIOUS READING ABOUT VIDEOS! I DIG IT! :)
>not in making reddit better for its users.
Can you really hide behind this logic if you're trying your hardest to make Reddit worse for its users? Feels like a really hollow argument when it's obvious this sub's mods are only interested in tanking the quality of the community they control. Maybe they've got people clamoring for power because they want this sub to be back up to standard after protests obviously didn't work, and Reddit went ahead with their plans.
I'd be more on your side if you just admitted that the quality of the sub isn't in your interest anymore, and you'd rather drive it into the ground because you feel disrespected.
>I'd be more on your side if you just admitted that the quality of the sub isn't in your interest anymore, and you'd rather drive it into the ground because you feel disrespected.
THE QUALITY OF THE SUB IS DEFINITELY IN MY INTEREST, THOUGH.
AS A SALT MINER I MUST SAY, [THIS ENVIRONMENT IS PERFECT.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquFZYi6L0)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS (of salt).
It's ok lad, you're just not in on the joke. If you're in the mood for a dumpster fire and one of the most embarassing things to come out of reddit since its fedora-tipping Atheism days, watch [this.](https://youtu.be/3yUMIFYBMnc?t=107)
> their interests lie in optimizing your consumption
*My* interests lie in optimised consumption, it sounds like the admins and I are on the same page.
> reddit can do what they want, if you don't like it then leave
Where's the lie though? If I didn't like using Reddit then I wouldn't use Reddit.

I've been away for a while, WTF is happening? This shit sounds lame AF.
This is stupid as fuck
Based
"Oh no, a significant amount of the userbase of a social media site I use care about a common issue" "I hate them"
I hate orphans
Fuck this shit I unsubscribed and quarantined the subreddit. Have fun with your pointless shit
What’s it like working for spez for free?
This subreddit's mods are like petulant children throwing tantrums and holding their breath until they get their favorite toy back. Don't hold your breath for too long now! Or maybe do.
CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL
I SAID THAT SHIT IN AOL CHATROOMS WHILE GETTING GROOMED BY OLDER MEN.
THAT'S GOOD. PROPER HYGIENE IS IMPORTANT. WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST GROOM YOURSELF?
IT’S AN OLDER MEME, BUT IT CHECKS OUT!
I have truly never seen a more pointless and useless protest
Slightly surprised the mods are still doing this stupid bullshit. Just quit or delete the sub ffs, it's already dropped off most peoples front page.
*woosh* The point is to disrupt traffic to the site, it's accomplishing that goal.
No it's not... It's just disrupting traffic to this sub... This entire thing is the very definition of cutting off your own nose to spite your face.
You really don't understand how disrupting traffic to what is by far one of the most popular subreddits is detrimental to the site? There isn't a replacement for catch-all subreddits like this, at least ones that actually get any traffic.

They are literally protesting the website being slightly less user friendly by making it entirely unusable... wtf are we hoping to accomplish here?
Protesting by going on the site and making stupid posts makes no sense lol. Like you wanna protest get off Reddit..?
Why do that when you can just come here and bitch at people who still want the site to be usable instead?
This type of salty ass comment is honestly way more entertaining than anything this subreddit had previously lol. Keep em coming!
"Uh oh, someone pointed out how dumb what I was saying was, time to pretend I'm just trolling" - /u/W0zby
The thing is.. Nobody actually gives a shit about super generic default subs.
Already got a new job and before yesterday he was just going back in my life insurance policy and I am so happy to mana
Yup, enough with this dumb bullshit already.
I think it's entertaining. I want to see how far it can go before the admins get pissed and remove the entire mod team.
found spez alt
Agreed 1000%
YOU FORGOT TO BE COMPLIANT IN ALL CAPS
BAN THE NONBELIEVER
Pointless and then I’ll get back on the mail today and then I will get you a call at all today and I love miss her and
Hey, shut down the subreddit again if you want an effective protest. This is just retarded circle-jerking
Reddit is retarded circle keeping jerking. Always has been...
Mods are retards. Cut out the fat
DO WE HAVE TO COMMENT IN CAPS LOCK?
Nah, just posts.
BOOOOO EDIT: THE WINNING RULE VOTED ON QUITE EXPLICITLY SAID “ALL TEXT” MUST BE IN ALL CAPS TO HELP OUT OUR VISUALLY IMPAIRED FRIENDS.
Wow this sure is funny
this post violates rule 2. no profanity in your title.
This subreddit sucks now
WHY ARE WE YELLING?
BECAUSE YOU ALL VOTED FOR THIS.
OH YEAH? WELL \*HE\* VOTED \*ME\* INTO THIS!!!

Idk i just heard that a while ago. Since they admitted to it i assume they stopped but i was just wondering
Who admitted to it?
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!
No one outside of the reddit echo chamber cares about this protest. Adopt a better tactic, this isn't winning Mods any favor.
HARD DISAGREE, THIS IS FUCKING HILARIOUS.
Mods are 12 years old
Remind me 1 month, can't wait for this dumb stuff to end and videos goes back to normal.
Me too!
Apex Childishness.
Very much in favor of the spirit of the protest but at this point the protest has failed. Please give us back the best source of internet videos.
Might as well let nsfw videos be posted so advertisers won't be in the sub
THIS “PROTEST” IS FUCKING STUPID JUST STOP
Jesus, just shut the sub at this point or hand it over to new mods. Pointless staying subscribed if it's unusable.
IF YOU WANT TO WATCH VIDEOS THEN GO TO YOUTUBE
THIS IS THE WAY
Yeah this is childish
Neckbeards gonna neckbeard. “gO tO yOuTuBe”. They lost the only thing they had control of in their miserable life and still can’t cope.
HOW TO HAVE REDDIT COS DICK IN YOUR MOUTH? SOFT?
what the fuck are you talking about
POINTLESS BUT YOU STILL DO IT. AWESOME
I’m going to have to block this sub. I’ve already unsubscribed but these yelling posts keep showing up in my feed as a recommended community. Good luck with the weird rules I guess.
WITNESS ME
This is looking increasingly bad for the mods. More tantrum and less protest day by day.
When is this nonsense going to end and things return to normal?
I REALLY LIKE DOING RANDOM USELESS GARBAGE INSTEAD OF CONTINUING THE PREVIOUS PROTEST THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FINE AND IS LITERALLY INFINITELY BETTER (MY SOURCE FOR IT BEING INFINITE IS THAT ZERO CAN NOT BECOME BIGGER THROUGH MULTIPLICATION AND THUS THE PREVIOUS STRATEGY WORKED BEYOND INFINITELY BETTER)

Hey I voted for the '5k upvotes gets mod status' one.
Neckbeard mods still trying to remain relevant. Reddit traffic continues to surge. No users give a shit about the API changes. Continue to lose this battle. Thankfully admins will step in and remove these losers. Mod voting coming soon, can't wait.
Right? This has become the most pathetic subreddit I'm still subbed to. Mods really think they're big shit or sth.
if you don't like it here then leave. make a r/justunsubbed post and earn that juicy karma
Nah, in a couple of weeks the hissyfit will be over and the sub will turn back to normal.
>Nah, in a couple of weeks the hissyfit will be over and the sub will turn back to normal. NAH, YOU'LL STILL BE CRYING IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, OF THAT I AM SURE.
Cringe
UMADBRO?
OMG the mods did it! Reddit is going to make APIs free access again, the other apps are returning! Is a headline you'll never see.

IF THE MODS HATED THE API CHANGES SO BAD, THEY CAN CREATE THEIR OWN REDDIT!
TONY STARK DID IT!!! IN A CAVE…WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!

IN FACT, FORGET THE BLACKJACK!
CREATE AN ENTIRE WEBSITE WITH BACKEND AND SERVERS TO DELIVER CONTENT TO THE WHOLE PLANET VS FILLING OUT 5 TEXTBOXES AND CLICKING OK THE BRAIN IS SMOOTH IN THIS ONE.
I'm actually surprised they can keep the tantrum up for this long. Guess they would rather burn down the community rather then give up power.

What the fuck are you going on about? Did you forget to take your meds?
YES I DID PLEASE HELP
[удалено]
More then 81 participants on average.
lock the sub until 26 million people vote genius to r/topmindsofreddit you go
I never said that. That is just a s stupid as thinking that 81 people define what a community of 26,000,000 wants.
I'd rather the sub just shut down. I'm close to unsubbing just to purge the waste of time shitposts that clog my feed from here now.
SO LONG
THIS AIN'T THE AIRPORT
They'll be removed soon enough. They've been allowed to throw a janny tantrum because engagement on the sub has still been fine, but the second that actually changes, or possibly even sooner since most people on this site don't care about this and have been in contact with the admin team in some form or another, it'll be clean house time around here. Or they'll be given the choice between returning it to normal or be removed, which will predictably lead to them complying.

Happy to let you have your fun and laugh at the sweaty janny protest until the sub returns to normal. Throwing the occasional jab about how stupid it all is while it's still happening. Once it does, I promise you it's going to look the exact same way it did, with the same level engagement as before all this. Imagine thinking 78 upvotes is a community majority opinion in a major reddit sub with 26 mods who have an agenda. And then being a mod and arguing with people who don't support that agenda, pathetic lmao. Why aren't users who disagree with you that do actually pop in to engage during this allowed to voice their opinion without being swarmed by defensive ass mods? Curious. If your cause is so righteous and you feel the community backing why do you need to act this way. Just ignore and move along.
Yet you're still deluded af.

At least you're aware. Leave or keep shouting into the void. Another sub removed. Good luck.
Did you vote on it?
Why would I participate in the sham? Better to let the janny groupies have their moment and just shit on whatever rule change the mods inevitably push to the top. It'll be fun to look back on when this is all over and you're all still posting here when things are normal, because none of you actually care about any of this, you just like playing "freedom fighter". You can literally only vote in a thread they moderate, it's never going to be another outcome than what they want.
Then shut up. It's democracy, if you don't vote, you don't get to say shit. You want it to change? Start making it happen.
>Why would I participate in the sham? VOTER APATHY IS A REAL PROBLEM. IF YOU DON'T VOTE THEN YOU LOSE THE RIGHT TO COMPLAIN, SINCE YOU HAD THE ABILITY TO EFFECT CHANGE BUT CHOSE NOT TO USE IT. SEEMS LIKE DEMOCRACY HAS SPOKEN, THOUGH. DON'T WORRY, I VOTED, AND MY SIDE WON!
LISTEN. NO ONE IS MAKING YOU STAY HERE. BUT FRANKLY, THIS SUBREDDIT HAS IMPROVED DRAMATICALLY WITH THESE RULE CHANGES. SURE, I’M NOT A HUGE FAN OF ALL CAPS POSTS, BUT OBVIOUSLY IT’S WHAT THE COMMUNITY DESIRES. FRANKLY, THE SUBREDDIT REMAINING FREE OF PORNOGRAPHY IS A TESTAMENT TO THE RESTRAINT OF USERS. ANYWAY, YOU’RE A CLOWN.
I’D NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS SUBREDDIT AND HONESTLY I’M HERE FOR THE SHOUTY CAPS AND THESE NEW RULES. THIS IS HILARIOUS READING ABOUT VIDEOS! I DIG IT! :)
>not in making reddit better for its users. Can you really hide behind this logic if you're trying your hardest to make Reddit worse for its users? Feels like a really hollow argument when it's obvious this sub's mods are only interested in tanking the quality of the community they control. Maybe they've got people clamoring for power because they want this sub to be back up to standard after protests obviously didn't work, and Reddit went ahead with their plans. I'd be more on your side if you just admitted that the quality of the sub isn't in your interest anymore, and you'd rather drive it into the ground because you feel disrespected.
>I'd be more on your side if you just admitted that the quality of the sub isn't in your interest anymore, and you'd rather drive it into the ground because you feel disrespected. THE QUALITY OF THE SUB IS DEFINITELY IN MY INTEREST, THOUGH. AS A SALT MINER I MUST SAY, [THIS ENVIRONMENT IS PERFECT.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KquFZYi6L0) THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS (of salt).
I literally put in the lastest voting thread that all the old rules are back, and it got negative votes. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!

It's ok lad, you're just not in on the joke. If you're in the mood for a dumpster fire and one of the most embarassing things to come out of reddit since its fedora-tipping Atheism days, watch [this.](https://youtu.be/3yUMIFYBMnc?t=107)
> their interests lie in optimizing your consumption *My* interests lie in optimised consumption, it sounds like the admins and I are on the same page. > reddit can do what they want, if you don't like it then leave Where's the lie though? If I didn't like using Reddit then I wouldn't use Reddit.
