Reddit seems to be fully aware what users are likely to do in the current climate. Do they think people who aren’t angry will be louder than everyone else, do they have a plan for protests, or are they just letting the chips fall?

Probably their line of thinking is that it doesn’t really matter where the chips fall as long as the chips can be cashed in. If they can make ad money on protest traffic then so be it. (I’m not fully convinced that this is the case (that protest traffic brings in ads revenue), but who knows.)
Maybe they just want another safe sub. At least they know that r/Place won’t go NSFW or go private in protest.
inb4 giant blue dick
Well you certainly wouldn’t want to go in after a giant blue dick
People should just put sexual stuff on R/Place to make it as advertiser unfriendly as possible
They’d probably just remove that (and would have a good argument for doing so). I suggest either not giving it traffic or drawing links to Reddit alternatives.
Time to apply Rule 34 to r/Place
