Reddit takes control of popular subreddit that protested API changes | Engadget
As it promised, Reddit has been taking over control of subreddits that shut down to protest changes to the platform's API.

The Subreddit in question is r/malefashionadvice, for anyone who doesn’t want to click through
They keep cracking down on subs like that. It's like they are scared of the reaction to taking over a major sub like videos.
Dragging out the take overs is such a colossal fuck up. If you’re gonna be a piece of shit you announce it, let people be pissed, ignore it, and then crush the dissent when the day comes.
If anything this just shows spez/reddit are completely incompetent, more than anyone already knew. He’s too much of a pussy to pull the trigger and do the shit he very obviously intends to do. A dumbass and a coward. What a combination.
slow walk suicide. painting themselves into a corner yet sure to blame everyone else for the backlash. again and again and...
It's a shit website moderated and ran by mostly shit humans
r/videos is back up though. The protest ended up being for nothing.
It's 'up'. And text only. You are only allowed to post descriptions of videos.
They’re back up. I just checked, there was a vote and they allow videos again.
....god dammit.
Oh. Well, that's sad. I always thought stuff like that and r/malepolish were rather niche in comparison to like, r/gaming or r/AITA. Which is how I picture "popular." Here's to new blood, at any rate?
