People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

I'm fully behind the moderators and read their well crafted response, but the admins are going to nitpick the definition of "sudden" and kick out all the mods. /r/pics was one of their highest ad revenue boards and they can't let that happen.

Honestly, what's stopping mods from just enshittfying the sub. Like, make it text posts only. Remove all images and see how it impacts the traffic.

The videos sub is text posts only now. Must be text posts describing videos lmao

They closer they walk the line, the longer they can drag this out before they're replaced. That means more subscribers move on to other active communities.
