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.
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?
I'm not English, I didn't even know who he was before reddit started posting his pictures, that's why I was wondering why him, your comment answers that :)
in fairness, the title said “how”, not why
If r/shitposting maliciously complies, it is gonna be over for Reddit.
Send all the log posters from 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.
