When all the subs went private for the blackout it caused Reddit to crash. Suggests that it’s a resource-intensive task for their backend.
Edit: this is hypothetical btw
I think users have also been uploading massive files of white noise to Reddit… Louis Rossmann spoke about this during a recent video:

Maybe. When they did “the snap” and banned half of everyone from r/thanosdidnothingwrong they did it slowly to not overload the servers.
Did… Did this really happen?
It was a while ago now but yeah, I do remember that being kind of a big thing.
Why did they ban them?
In honour of Thanos wanting to halve the universe’s population, the subreddit banned half of the users that were subbed/active; About ~350k banned from the sub.
