Not really. It looks like they’re planning another case of “malicious compliance.”
Sorry, those other three are clearly not the heads of Reddit. They have more intelligence, humanity…and at least one capable of Counting.

It does seem like a rather ugly design.
I’m sure Canada is devastated by the news.
I’m still struck by the realization that, apparently, Hasbro no longer exists. It’s like a part of my childhood just died.
That “pattern” has been around for at least fifty years. This is merely a continuation of it.
I would think, in Canada, such behavior would merit a hate crimes charge, since they don’t worship at the altar of FREEZE PEACH like we do here in the U.S.
“No one cares, trust me bro”…until their dealer (corporate Reddit) decides to start charging for their fix, or else nukes their favorite subreddit to make the whole place more investor-friendly. Then, it will be “HOW DARE THEY???”
It might…but, then again, once the API is closed and the “objectionable” subreddits are banned in order to prepare for an IPO, the resulting landscape there might be much the same as when the blackout was in force.
Remember Marauder, whose title screen featured a loop of the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme song? (This, after the packaging warned that this program was only supposed to be used to make legal copies?)
