I think that the shutdown and private locking of the major subreddits won’t stand. Reddit is still in power of doing whatever they like with their site so I expect them to simply takeover the subreddits and reopen up places like r/video. Maybe they will setup bot to keep the subreddits populated of posts and automatically moderated. It will be a bot town with no heart with zombie redditors survivors.
@koma I have the same feeling as well
