CNN —After staging a widespread blackout to protest Reddit’s plans for a controversial new pricing policy, some users are now trying a different tactic: flooding the social network with John Oliver pictures.
There have been numerous pictures of Oliver posing in sharply tailored suits, and screenshots of humorous moments from his show.
And an AI-generated image of Oliver as a “Game of Thrones” character (“John Oliver Snow”).
More than 2,500 communities on Reddit remain blacked out nearly two weeks into the protest.
Over the past week, many Reddit users have expressed hopes that Oliver might air a future segment about suddenly becoming the face of the revolt, and perhaps feature their content on his show.
