Its really something how little SRS gets brought up when talking about our current state of things, considering its the single handed cancer that would convert reddit into the Leftist propaganda machine it is today.
I think it was a victim of its own success. It died once they had taken over the site and the focus moved to purging the few subs that they hadn't managed to infest. They all moved to AHS and everyone forgot about SRS. IIRC they pioneered AHS's tactic of spamming CP on subs they don't like to get them banned.
I think it only died because it had become too big to deny its power and influence, so reddit couldn't deny the rules coming on them any longer.
But like any good elite, rather than just getting thrown in jail, they were given plenty warning and ability to walk away into dozens of smaller "unaffiliated" subs to continue doing the same thing, like AHS and BPT.
