Reddit crashed because of the growing subreddit blackout
(www.theverge.com)
I am so pleased with ourselves.
Did they somehow have certain subreddits hardcoded into the frontpage algorithm? Lol.
Yeah, sounds like it, otherwise this should not be possible. And how they did not realize it is going to crash, didn't they believe these subreddits would actually do it?
Imagine, we make this a weekly occurrence; every Monday major subreddits black out.
Meh, that would necessitate actually using Reddit.
Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
