There's probably some number of those users that 'll stop posting in a week when their apps stop working. I can only speak for me, but I probably won't be bored of Mr. Oliver yet will definitely stop contributing to traffic.

Flashback to a decade ago when people were complaining at reddit posts for leaving the 9gag watermark.
Is there actually a particular rule against turning SFW subs into NSFW subs?
No, and historically it's been the admins' stance that it's up to the mods to determine what is an acceptable level within the sub. They're absolutely just making up the shit as they go and trying to retroactively justify their impulsive actions after the fact.
Yeah, the angry irrational reactions show that all the talk about the protests just being noise was a bluff. It might have blown over, but it hasn't exactly because it got a reaction.
It's crazy how reddit's run like it's a 1-2 year old startup still trying to figure out how guidelines, communication, consistent rule enforcement, etc. work.
It's becoming more and more apparent the site's success was despite the company running it, not because of it.
*waiting patiently for the rule 34 series*
Same as usual, Qbit for DL just from different trackers?
Since no one's answered this yet: yes, but with some caveats:
- Being private, there's a sign-up process. Usually means getting an invite from someone or catching a lucky open registration window (/r/opensignups was good for this, unsure where to look now)
- As someone else mentioned, there's usually some rules. Mostly reasonable things, like seeding for x days or y ratio. This prevents leeching and keeps the downloads generally well-seeded for longer.
Maybe not in the short term. Lots of the users who don't give a shit about the protests are just getting aggravated by that stuff, based on the comments. Casual users getting pissed off are more likely to seek out somewhere else for their non-vacuum entertainment.
There was a post about the large number of recent one-word five-star reviews recently. I suspect they don't want Google looking too closely at the legitimacy of their reviews.
Options are:
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to allow sexy pirate John Oliver posts only at reopening.
Upvote this comment if you want r/Piracy to return to normal operations at reopening.
Scores are hidden, so there's no way to see which is winning yet. However, every sub that's done something similar so far has come out John Oliver themed.
I'm on Android using Sync, so I'm afraid I have no idea.
I'm going to have to disagree with that point. I don't see ads, but I have disposable income and am willing to pay for a good experience. Unfortunately, reddit's official app is miserable to use, and if I'm dealing with a buggy experience, I'd rather be here.
