    Users would still downvote the most egregious violations, unless there was an organized effort to encourage users to post and upvote junk. Then reddit would be faced with the decision of banning some of their largest subreddits, as is their policy for unmoderated subs, or replacing the mods.

    I think it could be much more disruptive as it would be actively destroying their advertising value and there is more pressure on admins to act quickly.

    reddit just fills the frontpage with content from other subs, and since most people aren't that picky, they won't notice much of a difference. That's why they shouldn't be going private since that just silences yourself, and gives you no place to coordinate further actions. They should be locking the sub or restricting it to only posts about reddit like dankmemes is doing, to continue making more noise, which is much more disruptive to the site.

    Do you know how Mozilla decides which projects to invest in that are potentially revenue generating? I get that it's hard to make money ethically on the web, especially when most it is built upon monetizing your data, but in each case, they seem rather late to the party in an already saturated niche market. Here's to hoping for a breakout product that really sets a new standard.
