    The people you want to get off reddit are (shock) on reddit. While it makes reddit money in the short term, it spreads the word to people that aren’t aware. Short term gain for hopefully long term loss.

      This is also why I don’t mind the John Oliver stuff. It’s interesting for now, but it will get boring. I just hope it doesn’t get stupid like what happened on r/aww

          They decided to go John Oliver only too, except people are now posting normal content and just putting a small John Oliver somewhere in the original picture.
