    >Huffman told NBC that the current system, where moderators can only be removed by themselves, higher-ranking mods, or Reddit itself, was “not democratic.”

    >A moderator for r/Pics on Friday posted a message telling the site’s users that they would vote between letting the subreddit continue operating normally or only allowing images of “John Oliver looking sexy.” The subreddit is Reddit’s seventh-largest and has more than 30 million subscribers.

    >”We – the so-called ‘landed gentry’ – *definitely* want to comply with the wishes of the ‘royal court,’ and they’ve told us that we need to run the subreddit in the way that its members want,” the post reads.

    >Users voted 37,331 to 2,329 in favor of sexy John Oliver.
