What I love about this is that it's exactly the kind of thing he'd talk about on his show, which would be hilarious and also add more exposure the the whole thing.

This is epic. Trolling level 10. Spez wanted to force them to reopen, so they did, but burned the subreddit. I can't wait for r/gaming to be only about ping pong, or r/videos to be only cat videos.
You can not force a community. And Spez has unintentionally created a community, just one that hates him.

Hold on... Are there any OTHER types of John Oliver images?
replies:
Wait, I thought the objective was to reduce traffic to reddit.
replies:
Brilliant. I look forward to John Oliver's episode on capitalist social media companies like Twitter and Reddit fucking their userbase
replies:
John Oliver is a California Ten.
Edit: John Oliver talking about a Steve Mnuchin clip: "Now, I know it was hard to pay attention to what he was saying, because you were just automatically undressing the guy with your eyes and you do it whenever he opens his mouth. Am I right? I'm definitely right. The guy's a California Ten, He's a smokeshow." https://youtu.be/RKjk0ECXjiQ?t=643
Ahhh, very good. Excellent loop hole. It's possible spez will still try and force pics back to it's former popularity but this does follow his rules ...
replies:
Absolutely based, r/Steam is pics of Steam engines and such right now. r/wellthatsucks is pics of vacuum cleaners iirc
replies:
Ahh, I returned to Reddit for the vote just to learn that vote is over :(. If you are interest in the vote's result and do not want to visit Reddit, feel free to open the spoiler
spoiler
Voting has now closed.
Our final tally is as follows:
Return to normal operations: -2,329 votes
Only allow images of John Oliver looking sexy: 37,331 votes
It would seem that the community has spoken!
replies:
I support the writers strike of course. But sad we won't get a new episode of Last Week Tonight where John has to comment on how he's bringing the sexy back to /r/pics
replies:
Why was Jonh Oliver chosen?
I don't know him and his relation with Reddit, I think I might need some context XD
replies:
That's pretty funny even if you hate John Oliver
replies:
This is quite literally one of the funniest things I have seen. Absolute genius move.
This is glorious.
I’m curious what spez will do about this.
replies:
Finally they give the people what they want
This is the best thing I've seen all month.
@sexy_peach madlads
