Funny of Reddit banning the mentioned Subs in a short amount of time. Some years ago, the pendulum was very much on the other side.

Reddit want to become public company so it's very much expected result.

  Strange how the same specie who killed its cofounder are the same who lead it now.

    Oh come it’s the same with twitter he liked the prospect of making lots of money and now he screams foul.

      He's not doing that much screaming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#Death https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz#Death.

    He was a co-founder in name only. He was forced on the actual founders by Paul Graham.

Is it known what killed those subs? Was it content based on actual people (celebrities)?

  I thought I saw someone mention that a Vice article linked to them, and possibly reddit didn't want people thinking they're going to be hosting a repository of "fake nudes of non-consenting people" I took a quick look at the subreddit before it was banned and I don't think I saw any real people represented. It was a lot of video game or anime style characters. And one of Shrek with a massive dong.

Mentioned where? The linked article only mentions Reddit once and that link resolves fine.

  I think this comment was meant to be a reply to the Vice article posted elsewhere in this thread

Reddit's ban hammer is significantly more liberal than it used to be. (I got suspended just for saying "fuck the king of Thailand" - in reference to a politically abused law prohibiting insults to the monarch.)

I don't understand the harm in generated images of people that don't exist. It might even reduce our CSAM problem. Obviously if they're made to look like some celebrity, that's problematic.
