      The John Oliver thing is more of a long-game strategy. The less posts become interesting, the less engagement Reddit is going to have. Although what they didn’t consider is that those subs are very unspecific and there are enough alternatives that people aren’t going to miss them.

      It’s a passive protest, while the NSFW one is active and therefore more effective/dangerous even short-term.
