Went out with a bang. Absolutely worth it. I had to delete my account myself, what a hassle.
Hot. (But could you mark NSFW? Thanks. Nearly creamed myself in the office)
Congratulations!
Thanks, I was honestly a little shocked to see the alert, as it had gotten a bunch of upvotes on /r/pics, but what a way to go out, I guess.
Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover!
That was among the AI prompts used. :)
Big "Gentlemen, it has been an honor to serve with you all," energy.
I mean...yea. You damn near broke the internet with this.
Of course they suspended you! You can't sell beef jerky, diapers, and car insurance with naked Photoshops of John Oliver.
I mean.... I'd buy Jerky if that's how they advertised it :P
Does anyone else have a craving to eat a peach right now?
Worth it!
Lmao they banned you for that? That’s incredibly legendary of you.

@ivanafterall I love everything about this - the picture, the subreddit rules, and the way you went out. Brava/o!
They really are losing it over there.
Totally worth it. What a way to go.
I'm OOTL, what's the joke here?
Several image themed subreddits voted to change their rules so that only "sexy" pictures of Jon Oliver were allowed. (in practice, any picture of Jon Oliver) It was intended as a form of protest against subreddits receiving threats from the admins to have their head mod role transferred to any mod who was willing to reopen the sub.
This one was apparently too sexy for the Reddit admins to handle...
Basically reddit admins said they will remove mods that don't open the subs back up.
Mods opened the subs and took a poll.
A) open like normal
B) only allows submissions of sexy John Oliver.
I think r/pics and r/gifs both did that. Not sure about any others. The vehement majority voted only sexy John Oliver posts.
So now the subreddits are technically open. And posts like this are what are filling them.
I saw that r/WellThatSucks is only doing posts about vacuums now.
/r/aww and /r/art are now both John Oliver. /r/steam is focusing on water vapor.
r/piracy is starting on sexy pirate John Oliver pics tomorrow. The poll is on now, anyway, and I'm assuming it will go John's way.
Lots of subreddits are being forced / threatened to open back up so that Spez can fix his IPO valuation and stop these mean mean moderators from hurting his feelings
Some subreddits are opening up and changing their rules so that only specific exact content is being allowed. For example the r/steam subreddit for the steam gaming platform is now discussing literal steam, the idea being that the subreddit is open but it's either a joke or crap content
It's a good enough solution, opening these things in name only and forcefully moderating thing to ensure the conversation and engagement is boring, there's not much else mods can do when admins are being a bunch of dicks.
Well you certainly went out on a high note!
Holy shit! John is looking good!!
God speed soldier! Your account's sacrifice will not be forgotten.
How dare they. This is art!
@ivanafterall they are now actively banning folks for using the pictures subreddit as intended? good grief.
Legend
i wonder what john thinks of becoming this protest's dark horse? lol
What he's said so far: https://twitter.com/iamjohnoliver/status/1670179738348933120
Well that's fucking hilarious
Sorry for your loss, but what a fabulous way to go out! Bravo!
GatDAHM Jamie, what you doing all cheeked up on a Sunday afternoon? 🥵
Well... Own fault you blew reddit with sexiness!
