Advertisers are the soft target.
They get extremely squeamish about controversy.
If you want to do damage begin asking them why they advertise on a place that supports rape and incest fantasies. Forget COVID go after the weird sex shit on Reddit.
I sincerely wish we could get enough people to email these advertisers en masse, detailing the stuff reddit refuses to ban.
Perhaps as some kind of...operation. A nod to the old one that had no respect for Kotaku, if you will.
...i seem to remember there used to be email flooder's floating around perhaps a few are still there and can give the illusion of a large group? basically using a similar tactic of jurno's and the sojus crowds, make a series self referring articles magnifying the issue and have a few dozen variations of a script to flood them with, some referring to an article some referring to the place's in question directly... ah who am i kidding im just blowing hot air no way this will actually work it has to reach someone who cares... but on the chance it does it could work.
Shouldn't be too hard to get a template letter and then get some autists to email it.
I don't think advertisers are really the soft spot though. The oligarchs understand that Reddit is important to disseminating their messaging, just as YouTube, Twitter, NYT, WaPo, and other money-losing-but-still-funded propaganda outlets are.
I'm really surprised that Reddit has gone this long without any scandals around r/Gonewild and all the other amateur porn subs. With the huge number of young women posting nudes there, it's inevitable that at least a few have been underage especially since you often can't see their faces. I'm surprised there's never been some TV news-magazine story with some mom crying about how her daughter was posting crotch shots all over Gonewild. It would give them a real dilemma, kill the site by banning porn or bankrupt the site by losing major advertisers.
I'm not against porn and such but at this point I think as much as possible needs to be taken down in the name of mutually assured destruction.
