What a fart gobbler.
“Sure, 90% of the sub voted for this and the reasons for shutting down are clearly laid out, but y’all are doing this for literally no reason. Stop throwing a tantrum and give me my memes NOW.”
By 90% you mean 90% of the 15 people that saw the post and were using a client that could see and vote in the poll in the 8 minutes that they had it open, because that's seemingly what most subs I was on that did a poll did. The comments were always 90% filled with people saying they wanted the subs to be open, they don't care about the API changes, etc, yet the crybaby mods would say "YOU ALL VOTED FOR THIS!" while everyone is screaming "No we didn't, we weren't even asked!".
The irony being that the ones upset by the API changes wouldn't be using the first party client, so if anything this would have filtered out the people in favor of closing down. I say "would have" because that would require this having actually being what happened. All of those polls I saw were open for days, and the people whining about the closures in the comments just didn't notice because they didn't actually use the site much or were just oblivious as shit.
