    I feel like the ONLY way this could work is if all the big subs collectively agreed to go this route. As it stands though, you’re still giving Reddit traffic.

      The point is to make the site less useful and thus drive users off of it.

      Admins have made the point that subs will be opened whether the mods like it or not. But mods can still control the topics of subreddits.

      Thus now the rules are changing to make the frontpage stale and drive people off of Reddit. Already /r/pics has mysteriously fallen off of /r/all.
