Reddit was forcing subreddits to re open or face mod removal. /r/pics reopen but their new rule (as a form of protest) was only pictures of John Oliver.
The fact that you have to mention you don’t like him (who the fuck cares) makes me think you aren’t really asking in good faith. His comedy/show often highlight bullshit and injustices in funny, ironic and meta ways and historically have encouraged disruptive protests that are ironic and silly but sort of make a good point. Such as, creating a real church to make fun/protest/highlight the fact that religions operate like corporations but don’t pay taxes. Subs could have picked anything silly to post, the point is to be rebellious and tongue in cheek while also making a point.
John Oliver. Just for the irony.
Can someone for the love of God explain the John Oliver meme to me? I don’t like his show so I’m out of the loop

Yeah…but why did they pick him?
