I'm disappointed they're just doing the John Oliver thing again instead of something more unique like making the sub about literal high seas piracy.

I think it should be literal piracy themed porn, since advertisers don't really like to be associated with porn. Every sub should be moving the shift to becoming porn.

Doing something unique is too engaging.

The entire point is making the site boring and useless so people move

@AtomicPurple @db0 Now that /r/piracy is officially endorsed by Reddit staff I reckon they should allow direct links to copyright-infringing content. Disney's lawyers would get a good payout from Reddit.
