Moderators flood feeds with pictures of TV comic as they fight owners’ plans to go public

That doesn’t explain why John Oliver was chosen tho.
Main stream reporting.
Get John’s attention, hope he does a segment on it.
I hope he not only does, but that he drives attention here, it will bring new users.
John has acknowledged it on Twitter, but there won’t be any segments on it until the writer’s strike is over.
Just need to make sure he drives attention to the server costs too. A Last Week Tonight hug of death could kill the site deader than spez’s career outside Reddit.

It was partly his tweet and his overall skits on making fun of stupid moves companies makes on his show.
The tweet was in response to having already been chosen. He was fanning the flames.
Iirc there’s no public reason he was chosen, I assume it’s a combination of what moderators are interested in, an opportunity to pay homage, the possibility for John Oliver to support it, and possibly to get a Last Week Tonight episode out of it for even more attention.
Just be glad it was John Oliver instead of Nicholas Cage.
in fairness, the title said “how”, not why
Who else, if chosen, would lean into it quite as hard and enthusiastically as John Oliver would? This is is raison d’etre here! It’s fine to question why, but if not him, who else?
If r/shitposting maliciously complies, it is gonna be over for Reddit.
Sent all the log posters on 4chan. They are super loose with the NYPA policy.
Could they also use Seth Myers please? He, of the famed Corrections and target of the Jackals attention is also a worthy public figure.
