It's always revolting.

Can we make it revolt harder, then?

More specifically: are there ways to encourage the current Reddit userbase to act so notoriously destructively towards the platform, that no sane investor would burn their money buying Reddit stock?

If you can control the porn, you control the internet.

So, if you can somehow trigger a revolt in all the NSFW subreddits, you win. Reddit stock will tank before it goes public.

That's a fun idea - specially if we could recruit the Reddit "porn is bad!" crowds to raid Reddit NSFW subs.
