The Steam subreddit has been forced back open. (self.reddit)

Looks like Reddit is forcing another sub open, but there are users advocating changing the sub to be about actual steam.

Honestly I think all of these subs should just spam the whole spez moderated jailbait thing and have nothing but that in the front page. Even if these subs reopen, they would ruin spez's image even more.

Does this scum even cares about himself anymore?

maybe not but his intent is profit and making reddit open for public trade, and I don't think investors are going to like having something like that flooding all of reddit which might cause them to rethink their choices. I mean with the global reddit population declining and having something that fucked up about the owner of reddit flooding the website, I wouldn't want to buy reddit stock lol.

edit to add on: I'm pretty sure the main objective of these protests is to make reddit lose so much money that it pulls back on the api decision. With most subs blacked out and the ones that have been reopened doing a lotta trolling, why not spread that shit to add some more damage?

If they really wanted to do damage, mods could just delete their subs, assuming that can be done.

And Reddit will just restore them. Reddit was caught restoring comments from users who mass deleted everything they ever posted
