Awesome to see this getting some media coverage. I hope the writers strike ends in time for Oliver to be able to do a segment on his show about all this.
I really like that there's a synergy in choosing John Oliver as their mascot; it's getting people to bring up that there's still an ongoing writers' strike, and keeping that information relevant.
I also have heard complaints of people being unable to get away from those Jesus ads, which isn't something I experienced due to ublock.
One of mine is that they created r/popular to be r/all without nsfw subreddits, but then later decided to remove them from r/all too. So r/all wasn't all anymore. I actually liked seeing the occasional nsfw post in r/all. It felt less corporate that way.
The last thing was they're refusal to implement an nsfl tag for gore, because they'd rather not acknowledge it existed to advertisers but also didn't want to ban it for some reason. My hope is that at some point the lemmy devs will add this and it will be enforced by the instances, because I'm sure the gore is coming.
