I find it kinda funny that my most upvoted post is John Oliver. It shows how much he is a symbol for the protest against the api.

Sadly thats exactly what reddit wants :/ doesnt matter if its John oliver as long as it isnt NSFW and content and brings clicks they are happy.
True though as more and more redditors use adblockers and all the post data they have is John Oliver it will become less valuable to advertisers which is why many redditors are using this tactic though making stuff nsfw would be a lot more effective.
John Oliver truly appreciates the free advertisment, though. I kinda wanna see his reaction to this.
He tweeted out his support when learned about it, and then followed it up with a bunch of silly photos of himself for people to use.
