Reddit's Turbulent Times: From John Oliver Dominance to CEO Outrage.

Two of the largest subreddits, r/pics and r/gifs, have reopened with new rules that only allow posts about comedian John Oliver after going dark as part of the ongoing protests towards Reddit. The new rules were put in place after a poll of users. Over 4,000 subreddits are still dark, but many have reopened in recent days. Some are reopening under duress, and moderators have voiced their concerns over Reddit's "threatening behavior." John Oliver encouraged the subreddits on Twitter and even gave them some fodder.
