No please, don't turn this into a "people with power" can do anything rant. Reddit removed the sub because they were overwhelmed with DMCA notices. If the other sub you mentioned was also flooded with DMCA notices then it would get removed too.

Actually they'd just ignore it if it all came from one person. If it came from multiple people, that'd be a case of "people with power get what they want" as a collection of even ordinary people is a powerful and wealthy force on its own.

Instead of posting to /r/thefappening what if they were just posting to /r/pics or /r/aww ? You think they would shutdown a subreddit with millions of subscribers?
