While this is funny, I think this will actually increase traffic to the Reddit, hence increase ad revenue?
Unless they put a link to go somewhere else for the content users are actually looking for to redirect traffic, I don’t think this will do a whole lot.
Yeah I like the idea of sidestepping the mod dethronings by reddit, but I’ve seen in practice it just makes the subs more popular until the idea looses steam. People want to be a part of the meme and it makes the subs busy as hell, not really wreck them. It’s malicious compliance that still gives users reasons to engage with Reddit and even log on to check stuff.
I’m not sure. I mean you enter once to see the gimmick, maybe twice to post something and make the joke. But that’s it. The subreddit content that millions of people seeked everyday is still gone, and people is not really going to keep frequenting those plsces with regularity until the content is back.
It all depends on how long can they keep the strike before being overthrow by reddit admins. A few months of vaccum cleaners or John Oliver pics and those subreddits would be generating a fraction of their original traffic.
