The Unpredictable World of Reddit Protests.
TL;DR Summary
Reddit's r/pics community, which has been protesting the platform's upcoming API changes by only allowing images of comedian John Oliver to be posted, has now allowed "any and all media featuring John Oliver." The community has renamed itself r/PICS: "Posts Illuminating Comedian's Sexiness." The move comes after 6,500 subreddits went dark last week to protest Reddit's decision to charge third-party developers for API access. Despite ongoing protests, Reddit's CEO Steve Huffman is refusing to budge on the API plans.
