People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

I think the title speaks for itself.

EDIT: UPDATE: So apparently the former r/jailbait mod that is The CEO purged the sub’s mods and forced the sub to re-reopen under the old rules.

Mission failed! We’ll get them next time!

EDIT2: aaaaaaand the sub's archived and no longer accepts new submissions. The garbage fire keeps going....

The 1-9-90 rule applies. 1% create content. 9% actively interact with it in various ways. 90% lurk. You get 25% of the 1% to leave/quit, the 9% have less to interact with and the 90% start to lose interest. It starts a downward spiral with the 1% and the site begins to crash.

Twitter is starting to see that happen with increasing losses of users.
