      I honestly don’t care whether or not reddit (the company) gives a shit. I just want users to realize that reddit deserves to be replaced by something more open and user focused.

      Im surprised they havent just performed takovers of the private subreddits and installed new mods.

      Maybe they have but are doing it at a slow pacing, either because its manual or because it may attract less attention.

          I’m skeptical about these claims. If they wanted to do that, why start with AdviceAnimals? Why not funny or pics?

          I haven’t. But now I’ve seen a couple. I believe they did /r/tumbler or something dirty too.

          It’s a shame. Totally antithetical to their culture they (Reddit) started and grew with as a freedom of speech platform.

            They’ve been running away from their culture of free speech since 2008. The only direction they have ever moved has been in the opposite direction.

          I expect most of the “popular” subs (like the one you mentioned) aren’t ones I have ever been aware of or cared to be aware of.
