Someome should point them to what happened over at r/assholedesign
I would, but I don't know how to do that without breaking the first rule
Don't even need to do that. Just need to point to what happened to /r/megalinks

Looked through the archive from 2019 /u/qefbuo said
Or what more recently happened with r/newyuzupiracy

When reddit decides a ban hammer is going to strike there is no warning.
The screenshot in that kotaku article contains the full base64 for the TOTK links as well as the sidebar that explains that they're base64 encoded. Brilliant
It's probably on purpose. Kotaku encourages pirating Nintendo games. That's part of why Nintendo blacklisted them.
I didn't Kotaku was based. That's pretty awesome
So this is why ToTK posts suddenly disappear from my reddit feed.
