Thousands of moderators overseeing the site’s subreddits are on strike. It’s a wrinkle in Reddit’s plan to go public, and a sign that plan is premature, columnist Anita Ramaswamy writes.

What I find curious is how long it’s taking for Google to react.
2/3s of my searches have Reddit as the top result and the only one with good answers, and the majority of said results are broken due to a closed subreddit. I know how to use the cached page, most users do not. I can only imagine that’s very frustrating for a casual Google user.
It’ll be more frustrating that reddit has become the best source of information for a lot of stuff. This will hurt in the beginning, but they can go fuck themselves nonetheless.
